Competition - Win an ASUS X79 P9X79 PRO Motherboard!

[MSIRawZ]

DATE: December 1st, 10 GMT - December 31st, 10 GMT

​

Right guys, I want to see us get into the top 45 by the 31st December. That's only about 500 boints between us all over 5 weeks which isn't a big ask. As a thank you, I will donate my spare P9X79 PRO motherboard worth £240 to the member who submits the most amount of boints starting from December 1st next month. Everyone is eligible to enter so long as you submit your results (following the rules per benchmark) at HWBOT for the OC3D Team. There are no benchmark, hardware, or software limitations and ES kit is allowed.

From now till December 1st, it should give you plenty of time to gather all the kit you need to produce some epic results, and those reading this who are not apart of the team to give you time to learn the ropes, swat up and join the team. If you are new and have any questions, post your questions here and the team will be happy to help you out and give you some advice and tips.

It would be great if we could get into the top 40 but 1500 boints is probably too much, but we can live and hope I guess!

Please spread the word as this truely is a great prize. I'm also looking around for decent prizes for 2nd and 3rd places so not all hard work done to reach the top 45 is at a loss.

Thank you for reading and get benching!

stock most of the time but when i first got it i overclocked it as far as it would go (925/1,000 MHz) and used TTL's 980x (which is now dead) to get all the points i could

here is one of my results
