We are going to keep this competition simple so all you have to do is achieve the Lowest possible memory frequency using ddr3 memory. you can use any memory as long as its DDR3, you can also use any motherboard.

Just download the latest copy of CPUZ.
http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html

you must validate your score at CPUID using CPUZ'S online validation tool.
http://valid.canardpc.com/

When you have your CPUZ validation code [using the same username you use to register on Benchtec forum] just post your link here for a chance to win this great ram!
You can post as many entries as you wish competition begins on seventeenth of August 2010 and ends on midnight 17th of September 2010 [uk time]

anyone can enter, http://www.benchtec.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=6951

Most importantly, have fun tweaking your system!



Many thanks to G.Skill for the great prize!

Well, looks like Rickss69 has this one in the bag... He is the absolute king of "how low can you go."

:P

thebanik 08-16-2010 05:45 AM

punx223 08-16-2010 06:04 AM

DrNip 08-16-2010 06:06 AM

Yeah I know! :blink:

Hi guys, if more than one person reaches the same low frequency each of those entrants will be numbered and an on line randomiser tool will be used to determine the winner.

I'ts a bit of fun to brings folks together...but of course with the chance of a nice prize at the end! we are a competitive lot for sure but having fun is the number one priority.

rickss69 08-16-2010 08:23 AM

This was my lowest as far as I can remember... http://hwbot.org/community/submissio...ma_hd_11_marks ...not even sure how to downclock memory.

ReverendMaynard 08-16-2010 08:46 AM

Thanks for bringing this opportunity Busta, I'm sure this is going to get funny.

@rick, drop the ratio, drop the fsb/bclk and strap. you may have to loosen the timings even.

Wanna bet?

I seen tons of peeps running 1010 overclcoked.. I think this is a cinch When does it end?

Oh there is a catch...

"When you have your CPUZ validation code [using the same username you use to register on Benchtec forum] " gotta re-register under that name eh?

rickss69 08-16-2010 08:23 PM

Nice and low Rickster ;)

The 660 does cas 5 btw.

rickss69 08-16-2010 09:29 PM

Seems I have nothing left to draw upon in bios. Maybe this is the limit? Any ideas feel free to chime in...I'm tired and I'm going to bed now. :blink:

(Do other mb's bus speeds go below 100?)

DrNip 08-17-2010 12:22 AM

Here to tell you i7 can't compete. :( I'm out.

rickss69 08-17-2010 01:08 AM

I will give it a test later Nip...:good:

DrNip 08-17-2010 01:12 AM

I couldn't even boot at 600mhz or at least my 960 wasn't wanting to play. :( Will try on an i3 platform this weekend.

rickss69 08-17-2010 08:17 AM

There have been no challenges thus far...maybe there is a limitation. :Dizzy:

Neuromancer 08-17-2010 09:19 AM

Sick speeds rick. (or is it lack of speed? lol)

rickss69 09-16-2010 05:21 AM

Posted by Bustah this morning... "Last day of this competition, at midnight tonight [uk time] the comp will be closed. The winner will be announced tomorrow. "
