post #1 of 2077
Thread Starter 
Good afternoon Overclock.net members! We've once again got a great opportunity for you to pick up some great gear, this time with added variety! biggrin.gif

In celebration of the recent launch of the Intel 313 series SSDs, we'll be giving away the following prize packages to three winners (who must reside in either the US or Canada, excluding Quebec) which will include:

One (1) Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge Desktop Processor
One (1) Intel DZ68BC Desktop Series Motherboard
One (1) Intel 313 Series Hawley Creek mSATA SSD

...thats right, each winner gets all three prizes!

Much like in our other recent contests, to be eligible to win you simply need to make a post in this thread answering the following questions:
Quote:
1) Do you prefer to build your own PC’s or buy a branded system?
a) Prefer to build my own
b) Prefer to buy a branded system

2) How often do you replace or upgrade your PC?
a) Every year
b) 12 – 18 months
c) 18 months – 2 years
d) 2 – 3 years
e) 3 years or longer

3) How important do you feel an SSD is to system performance?
a) Extremely important
b) Pretty important
c) Not very important
d) No impact on performance at all

4) [Canadian residents] What is 120 plus 45 divided by 4 minus 11?

If you're curious about the 313 Series drives, or the enhanced features of the Intel Desktop Board DZ68BC, the following info from Intel should give you a bit of background:
Quote:
Optimize PC responsiveness with the Intel® SSD 313 Series caching solution featuring Intel® Smart Response Technology, a feature which enables storage I/O caching by moving frequently used blocks of disk information to an SSD - providing dramatically faster access to user data than the hard disk alone can provide. The end result: your PC can take full advantage of the hard drive capacity and receive a boost in boot times and application launches for faster overall system responsiveness similar to that of an SSD-only system. And because SSDs reduce spinning up of your hard drive, the Intel SSD 313 Series delivers high performance with low power. With powerful Native Command Queuing that enables up to 32 concurrent operations and proven Intel architecture, the Intel SSD 313 Series drastically outperforms traditional hard disk drives.

The Intel® Desktop Board DZ68BC sets a new standard when it comes to the performance and bandwidth that gamers need most, providing breakaway performance in production and editing as well as digital media rendering and real-time audio/video preview capabilities. Intel Desktop Board DZ68BC is also optimized to be fully compatible with the Intel® -K family of processors with the capability to fully overclock both the core and graphics speeds as demanded by gamers and overclockers alike..

Learn more about the Intel DZ68BC Desktop Series Motherboard and the Intel Core i7-2600K Desktop Processor.

Good luck to all! Entries will be closed at midnight PDT on May 15th, and winners will be announced/contacted shortly after.
