MSI har også haft deres OC event.

MSI European Overclocking Challenge 2008






Ikke mindre end 20 hold fra forskellige lande i Europa var repræsenteret, også et enkelt dansk som kom ind i den sidste halvdel af de 20 hold - men det positive var jo at Danmark var med...



And the winners are.. Hipro5 and Gprhellas from Greece!



On 23 and 24 August, the first MSI European Overclocking Challenge was held in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. After months of preparation and qualifying rounds, the best overclockers from 20 different countries in Europe were able to show their skills and compete with their fellow enthusiasts. All contestants received an MSI P45D3 Platinum mainboard with DrMOS to overclock. On Sunday the 24th of August, the winners were announced by MSI: Hipro5 and Gprhellas from Greece! The number two were Hey and Tosuner mc from Turkey and the third place was won by Florian and Marmott from France.

The first prize was an MSI GX600, world's first overclockable notebook. Next to that, the top 3 overclockers could keep the gear (MSI P45D3 Platinum mainbord, MSI N9600GT-T2D512 VGA, Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 processor, OCZ DDR3 PC3-16000 Platinum Edition memory, Silencer 750 Quad power supply) that was supplied to them for the event. On top of that, MSI was proud to announce a grand prize for the top 3 contestants: a ticket to the MSI World Wide Overclocking Challenge in November this year, in Taiwan!

The jury was impressed by the performance of the winners Hipro5 and Gprhellas: "They had the best scores on all benchmarks (164% higher performance than the non overclocked system), so they are definitely the right European Champions." At the start of the event, Greece was already tipped to be one of the favourites for the title. Hipro5 was very happy winning the Overclocking Challenge: "Overclocking till death, Overclocking is Life!"
