Recently, I was handed a large case marked “Mission: Unlock // Overclock” along with an envelop marked “Top Secret.” Intrigued, I opened the envelop to find a series of smaller envelops labeled with phase numbers.

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...
