Visit this thread for more info about the event: http://www.overclock.net/t/1228171/overclock-net-grand-champion-series-toronto-june-30th-2012-10-000-prizing

Hi everyone,

The event details are in the link above.

As for questions, you can ask anything but put them in this thread. I am doing this for several reasons:

- Some questions (technical or otherwise) requires information to be gathered... if you ask something of me on the spot, you'll get the usual response: "Google it."
- Ask something smart or informative.... if you want to know why things happened in the past (good or bad), ask it in a constructive manner. Not like "Why did MSI suck so badly with this product?" If you put me in an awkward situation, I will put you in the corner of the internet for you to contemplate your poorly formulated question.
- DO NOT ASK ME ANYTHING ABOUT NVIDIA OR INTEL OR HOW MUCH YOU LIKE THEIR STUFF. That is another question for another event. If you do, you'll most likely get this response from me...
- Fun questions are welcomed... just nothing stupid, bro.

Put all your questions here! Below!!!

Figure most my questions would be easy to answer on the spot, but I'll put some here anyway.

Msi:
-Is it true that the mpower motherboard is named after Massman?

-Does msi plan on releasing a lightning series motherboard for their amd platform? If so, I'll have more questions to follow that one.

-Msi motherboards have been built with excellent components for many years, but when it comes to performance for extreme overclockers the results have been below that of other manufacturers. What steps are msi taking to build their brand increase performance?

Amd:
