MSI Master Overclocking Arena 2013 live photo coverage @ Hardware.Info
The MSI MOA this year was plagued with a limited budget that not only impacted the format of the competition but also where it was hosted. While this may have limited any local foot traffic for those of us outside of Taiwan you wouldn't have known the difference.
The MOA this year occurred over the course of two days and followed a similar format to previous years. Three benchmarks with the best improvement of score winning that stage but, as we have seen just because you win a stage doesn't mean you'll win the competition.
Hardware.Info appears to have been one of the invited media and has a pretty good photo log of the event.
We’re doing live coverage of MSI’s Master Overclocking Arena 2013 overclocking event today. 16 overclockers from all over the world compete in three benchmarks; SuperPi 32M, Cinebench 11.5 and 3DMark Fire Strike. We’ll updating the link below all day long with new pictures.--snip--
Unfortunately one overclocker has to quit the competition before the end. Italian OC-guru Giorgioprimo already had bad luck in the morning, sacrifing his first MPower board. Halfway the Fire Strike session his second board also crashed. And there's more: Mikecdm's Samsung based Lightning card died during the competition.
Darren and I will be discussing the MOA on the next Podcast so stay tuned.
