Overclockaholics.com 3DMark 01 Low Clock Challenge 1 Comment By 3oh6 on July 16, 2009 The idea of a low clock challenge is to provide a playing field for benchmarkers to prove their tweaking skills in a given benchmark. Setting specific limitations constructs the playing field and opens the doors to a lot of people to compete that might not have the newest or best hardware that a wide open competition would require. Overclockaholics.com recently had a low clock 3Dmark 01 challenge which locked CPU clocks to 4.2GHz and limited Nature Frames Per Second to 1200FPS for single card...
OC Report :: OCZ Blade 3×2GB PC3-17000 CL8 0 Comments By 3oh6 on July 10, 2009 My last OC Report just over a month ago was on a kit of memory I referred to in a review as the Goliath of memory from the first testament.

Except this Greek hero isn’t some weak PC3-16000 kit of memory – ‘rolls eyes’ – this kit is straight from the top of mount Olympus. Hanging out with the Greek mythological gods, these sticks put Hermes and his winged shoes ...

I arrived mid afternoon Friday and luckily I had no hardware casualties from the trip there, I met everyone when I arrived and it was really cool to meet those that I looked u...
