I vote for the dragon too (Hey Stupid!, the contest is over and you even aren't a Judge jack*ss!)
But the winning design would be great in physic pvc shape, rather than a stamp.

japuchi · Jun 25, 2009

Congrats to the winners!
We would like more contests like this!
:laugh:

I thought the same thing -- it would be cool if HIS actually shaped the cooler to match the design...

Polarman · Jun 25, 2009

Gratz on the winners. Good job!

think of the demographics. most of the judges were from AMD and HIS, so they're quite likely a lot older, and more conservative than we are. old people just dont like dragons as much as we do

(probably related to a hot video card having FIRE on its cooler too... hehe)

That's really a silly statement ! ..... :eek:

Dahaka · Jun 26, 2009

The second price for me is the best, and the third place is the second but nothing in this life is how we want to be :laugh:

PD: sorry for my english

Animalpak · Jun 28, 2009

The first one is obscene, very bad choice of designs.

steelkane · Jun 28, 2009

I liked the one that came in third the best,, then the dragon. maybe they should have let the ppl vote & not his ppl.
