Korean overclocker, usually
teamed up with little_boy at
various competitions had a
fantastic start. He won the
Super Pi 32M round. From there
his position in the top three was
pretty much guaranteed unless
something went drastically
wrong. Given his consistent
performance and perhaps
even bias to graphics card
benchmarks, he was always
going to do well. In Cinebench,
dRWeEz managed to place
second, displacing Vivi from
the number two spot, just
below Moose83 the German
overclocker. However, due to
the poor quality of his first CPU
sample during the Super Pi
round, he had placed near the
bottom of the list. At 6.2GHz,
not much was going to happen
in such a CPU dependent
benchmark.
In the end it was Vivi who
walked off with $3,000 USD in
cash and hardware to the value
of $2,000 (He would claim an
additional $500 USD on the
following day in the “No-Limits
battle”). A close second went
to Tolsty MOA 2013 champion who
received $2,000. Third place
was oc_windforce from Korea
with $1,500 USD and fourth
place went to Moose83 from
Germany earning himself $1,000
USD. Like Vivi, these individuals
walked away with over $2,000
USD worth of hardware in
addition to their prize money.
Since 2008, MSI has been
hosting this competition and
with each successive event, the
input from overclockers has
been injected into their retail
products. Many of the wonderful
