Create a superhero for overclock3d and the winner gets a prize and the winning superhero gets to be a masscot for the site
it can be drawn on paper and posted as a pic so some of the younger guys can have a go or on a computer program

How about the best artwork suggestion/picture gets it put on one of your custom rigs?

Gigabyte tried that a few years back, best artwork won a GTX 680 Windforce, well the issue with that is "The Best" got chosen... it's unfair especially for those who don't have 3DMAX or Photoshop skills.
A quiz where all the answers can be found within the subscriber vids

Maybe a comp to design and source builds in different categories-
#Entry level
#Entry Level Gamer
#Mid Level Gamer
#Top Level Gamer
#Enthusiast
#Extreme Enthusiast- Must inc Custom Liquid cooling
#Bang for Buck- System with the best Performance:Cost
All entries to be submitted privately to stop people copying with all entries to be posted by OC3D when the winner/s are announced.
well thats my idea.
This community is awesome. Had to get that off my chest being a newbie here.
I actually don't have anything that comes to mind but I think I have a formula to a competition that would really help others. This communities success is based around advice, people sharing their knowledge and experience, it's awesome. Could we have a contributed community made budget computer suggested by, well the community of OC3D.
This probably sounds hugely sophisticated and I have no idea how anyone would be able to enter the competition, maybe they can just enter. But wouldn't it be fun to have a community budget computer created with our brains combined. A lot of mixed opinions, a lot of posting and a very big thread I know but maybe if people post their suggested build to be entered into the competition. At the same time it would help others to know what to look for in a budget gaming computer.
Maybe someone can build of this idea?

we are OVERCLOCK3D after all.
Why don't we have an overclocking comp?
Maybe Tom do some basic tutorial Vid's on Overclocking Ram and Graphics.
have 3 categories-
#CPU
#Memory
#Graphic
have it based on Stock:Overclock difference so that way anyone can join in not just those with the fastest parts which would be an issue if we were aiming for high frequency. I understand silicon lottery comes into play but as we know you could have the best chip in the world but if you don't know what you're doing you may as well have the worst and those that do know what their doing are able to make those lesser chips run at their max.
It would be a good way to stimulate the forum with alot more people asking questions about OC'ing this or that as well as boosting the wealth of knowledge with in the members. that seems like Win's for everyone, not just the winner/s of the comp.

Honestly, we all know that only those with access to water cooling loops will have a chance of winning. That eliminates over half of OC3D tbh.

yep, so how about an underclocking/undervolting compo?
here are my sh*t ideas
or something to do with people giving back in to the forum?
or the stupidest begging comment?

That is golden! Something we all despise but yet could be sooo entertaining.
EDIT: Obviously it would have to be moderated to an extent, language, subject and minimum 500 characters.

A comp where only I can enter and only I can win??? :lol:
Seriously though, photoshop/MS paint comps are always good. Doesn't have to be for the best quality shoop or drawing but for the most humours or creative pic.
Another good one would be to print off the OC3D logo and for people to take a pic with it around and about in strange locations/situations. And as with the photoshop/MS paint comp it could be not for the best quality pic but for the most unique, funny or creative.
You could also do different prize tiers for each one e.g best unique, best funny and most creative overall = 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize.

Rig of the month? And end of the year Rig of the year between the monthly winners?
The one above, CPC used to have a section of users holding the mag in different countries and then a world map covering in red were CPC had been. You probably don't want to copy but something simliar.
I'd like something OC3D branded as a comp, won't be many people out there with one then.

the only problem with that is only people with the money or sponsors who also post on other forums are really going to win....
