That's right, it's competition time - again! HEXUS and Inno3D have teamed up to offer our readers the opportunity to win one of two pre-overclocked GeForce 9-series graphics cards.

The grand prize is an Inno3D GeForce 9800 GTX OC - a card featuring a core speed of 720MHz and 512MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 2,300MHz.

The not-too-shabby runner-up prize is an Inno3D GeForce 9800 GT iChiLL - featuring a core speed of 700MHz, 512MB of GDDR3 clocked at 2,000MHz, and an Accelero Twin Turbo cooler.

However, seeing as we're giving away so much lately, and so easily, we've decided to make this one a little tougher - so get your thinking caps on!

In order to enter the competition, we're asking HEXUS readers to take a photo with an "iChiLL" theme and post it in our community forum. The two "coolest" pictures will be crowned winners.

It's a little more tricky, and we've got a few additional rules:

  • Your photo must have been taken by you personally and some form of proof should be included in the photo
  • Your photo should not contain offensive material - any such images will be removed and you will be barred from the competition
  • Your photo should be a maximum of 640x480 pixels in size
  • Your photo must not be heavily-altered using any software programs, though simple tasks such as adjust brightness, cropping and adding text are acceptable
  • Please try to post only one photo entry. If multiple photos are posted, only the first photo will be taken into consideration

That's about it! We're going to pick the most creative photos as our winners, so start thinking cold. As a little example, here's a possible photo entry that we prepared earlier:

That's all there is to it! We won't be accepting e-mail entries for this one, photos must be posted in our community forum by no later than September 28th 2008.

So, what are you waiting for? Head on over to the HEXUS.net community forums and post your pictures. Good luck, everyone, we'll be picking the winners soon after the competition closes.

To the family photos from our ski holoday……………………………………………………………………………………………………lapland - wooo -


A freezing night at lapland, when our family went on the dog sleds. The snow/fogg shows just how cold the graphics cards are, and the speed, and blureyness shows the speed of the cards (as they are all overclocked).

Little bit of text added using photo impact, but without is below:


Photo taken in 2005 by my mother, with my brothers and I in the sled, and father driving.
edit: changed to my original idea (The Jambo put something in ice first…):

think of it as:

Cold hard cash!
or
Freezing your assets.



and proof that it is actually frozen and not just plonked ontop…




i need a decent camera… out of 50+ shots… these were the best…

and my £50 better have thawed out soon :mad:

/me hopes the money is still usable…
too dodgy a picture, cant find duck frozen into pond picture (must have been on my sisters now knackered hard drive) cameras recently broken, so i'm out of this compo..

mods you can delete this post..
Heh, Im just waiting for the freezer to do its work before I can get mine up.
The North Sea makes me think of chilling in both senses…

picture to follow :)
