More than last year

Oh yeah! Keep pushing it!

in regards to class B, is that the GTX750 and/or the 750Ti model?

go go go Indonesia

in regards to class B, is that the GTX750 and/or the 750Ti model?

 

Only the normal GTX 750. No Ti

One overclocker per country in Class A and B.

 

Question:

Does this mean:

1) Maximum 2(two) person of same country qualified, one from class A, one from class B.

 

or

 

2) Maximum one person of same country qualified for MOA, either from Class A or Class B.(And in this case of one person only, if there's 2 candidates,one from class A and one class B from one country, which one got qualified?)

 

Thanks,

Only 1 person per country for A and only 1 person per country for B. So it's possible that there are 2 participants from the same Country in total (1x A and 1 x B)

Okay, thanks for clearing that up

Hi, I have a Question. Do the contest have any age requeriment? Because I am 17 years old and Im deciding if I buy MSI hardware to compete or stay with my actual hardware.

 

Thanks!

They always put it when the competition starts. The same with the background.

I don't like this rule

Last year's MOA finalists are not allowed to participate in Class B, only Class A.

Why only one per country If for example 2 german in Top 6 only 1 can go?

Why only one per country If for example 2 german in Top 6 only 1 can go?

 

If they compete in the same class, then yes only 1 can go.

Rule like this has been around for quite a long time, and it might meant to make the contestant more 'diverse' across countries. You can still make 2 Germans pass though, you can compete one in class A, one in Class B

Why only one per country If for example 2 german in Top 6 only 1 can go?

I thought you're Swiss?

Is this not plain logic ?

Yeah now im swiss

Hi guys...

 

CLASS A QUALIFIER RULES

 

Any MSI Z97 motherboard.

Use 1 CPU. Server CPUs (Xeon, Opteron) not allowed.

Any MSI R9 series graphics card. Single GPU.

External power circuit disallowed.

 

CLASS B QUALIFIER RULES

 

Any MSI Z87, Z97 motherboard. (LGA 1150)

Intel Pentium G3258 CPU. Use 1 CPU. Server CPUs not allowed.

GTX 750 graphics card allowed. Single GPU.

Please download the LN2 BIOS and Afterburner Extreme here.

External power circuit allowed.

Only use hardware that is available for retail.

This competition is between Members. Employee (either full-time or part-time) of any motherboard manufacturers is not eligible for the contest.

 

Are those requirements right? I mean...for the class?. Any way, I have some questions:

 

1) Only R9 is allowed for class A? Or can I use nVidia models...

2) This is not very clear for me: "The top 18 overclockers from different classes and regions will be invited to the MOA 2014 Grand Final. Only the highest ranked participant per country (for each round) will get a ticket to Grand Final." The total of participants in the final (On Taiwan I guess) will be 18? The 18 top will travel to the final?

No EPower needed for class A since 290X Lightning is available.

 

 

1. Only AMD R9 models. So R9 290X reference or Lightning if you want to have a real chance.

 

2. The top 18 will go to the final. However maximum 1 per country (2 if 1 x A and 1 x B) and 4x AM, 6x EMEA, 5x APAC

So so since USA is split in two, that means one from east and one from west can potentially go? If so, I'm in Texas. That's in the middle, but more west than east.

Crap, too much money.

 

1) That Lightning is on 680 USD on Newegg, plus 80-100 USD more fro shipping to my country.

2) Another 600 on mobo and CPU (only one CPU) plus shipping

3) A cheap SSD

4) Maybe PSU too...

 

I think that I would have to cross my fingers again and wait that Tom's send me again to cover the event...if that can happen....

You can still participate in Class B

 

Z87/Z97 MPower ~200 USD (used even cheaper)

70 USD CPU

120 USD GPU

Is this not plain logic ?

 

why is this logic?

 

B class is not a class for people with less skill than A class

 

the difference between class A and class B is that it is cheaper to participate in class B
