The competition keeps getting tougher with every contest entry. Although I found this one earlier even before this contest came out, while looking for the other contests . Should consider myself lucky
.
With the time I spent browsing and searching the pages for these logos, I sincerely appreciate the efforts HH puts in these reviews. For once I used to complain to have more pages on the reviews, but now it seems the tables have turned

Wow, this was an unlucky one. I found the first 5 contest answers in the first few clicks. This one, on the absolute LAST article I opened out of all of them. That's 3 hours of straight clicking, now my mouse and hand/fingers are tired.
Worth it to have a chance at winning some great hardware from HH, Guru3D and all of their cool sponsors willing to hand stuff out to us!

SSD storage is always an amazing upgrade or addition to the setup. Was blown away when I first got one, never expected the difference to be so noticeable. Good luck to everyone.
Unrelated: When did AMD enter the SSD market?

Just in the last year or so. They're nothing but rebrands though. Same as the AMD branded memory. They just take a product from another company and slap their logo on it.

That doesn't really surprise me, I expected them to enter the Monitor market before anything else though, with their " FreeSync " tech.

They're re-branding everything these days. I expect to see AMD branded cases next, followed by keyboards and mice....then monitors. I'm most curious as to when they're going to re-enter the CPU market. APU's are fun to play with, but there are usage cases where they simply don't suffice...
Anyway, back OT....
Good luck to all entrants.... As my PC isn't really for gaming, I'm sitting out of most of these contests. My only interest is in the 290X for Folding@Home.

I didn't find! I'll have to rest for the next round of search.

Hahaaaaa. Luckily I have a new mouse so the scroll wheel won't be going out on me anywhere soon. I got lucky on Contest4 where I found two logos in one run because I skipped a few days without checking. I also open 4 articles at once and skip one page on each and go the next ... by the time i get back to first article things would have loaded (it's less boring) ;-)
If there only was an easier way to find them

We could just tell each other where they are located...
I kid, I would never do that. I'm not even helping my best friend who lives a few houses away. He got tired of hunting after the 290X contest and keeps asking me for hints. SORRY BUDDY........daddy needs some new hardware.

Round 2 of me searching for the OCZ logo. Here we go.
I use a simple technique I learned while studying Computer Science in university a decade ago. I start in the middle. Then go to 16, 14, 17, 13...

If you studied CS, think in a better one, dont reinvent the wheel

I found it less than 5 minutes after posting. So, I like my technique. Hilbert even removed the numbers. It worked even for the DDR4. U're welcome.

Entered all the contests since the majority are up now and I waste less time searching. Only took round 20-30mins.
It's not random if one follows a certain pattern
.
This is the piece I really want though.
