that had come to represent the Indonesian overclocking community. Every year, overclockers, amateurs and professionals alike have come to anticipate MSI’s MOA as the single largest overclocking competition in the calendar year. This is viewed as not only an opportunity for competitors to come together, but also a time where new faces to the scene may be introduced. Once you win a live overclocking competition, especially MOA, your status within the community is immortalized. MSI has been doing a stellar job since the beginning in not only promoting overclocking to every enthusiast, but to gamers as well. With each successive generation of gaming hardware, many of their overclocking features make their way on to their gaming boards. One could even argue that courtesy of these components, getting into overclocking has never been easier. What was previously a ridiculously small community and hobby has transformed how products are designed and what end users can expect from them. This was the first time we attended a live competition where the hardware held up for as long as it did and was without any failure as a result of the extreme conditions it was operated at. We would like to thank MSI for having given us this opportunity to cover this event. We hope to return in 2015 again to see what MSI has prepared. Whatever it may be, it’s guaranteed to be even more exciting. This is MSI’s MOA 2014 in pictures, please do enjoy. [ The Overclocker ] Issue 32 | 2014 The OverClocker 17
