TechPowerUp and MSI Z97 Gaming Giveaway - Here is the Winner

btarunr · Aug 4, 2014

Here are the winners of the TechPowerUp and MSI Z97 Gaming Giveaway. After coasting through hundreds of entries, one lucky winner was randomly selected, who wins an awesome MSI Z97 Gaming 7 socket LGA1150 motherboard, featuring gaming-grade audio and networking, and support for up to three high-end graphics cards in multi-GPU configurations; on top of stellar CPU overclocking credentials.

Since we have just one of these to give away, there's just one winner, and that is Paul from the United Kingdom. A huge congrats to you, Paul! TechPowerUp will return with more such interesting giveaways.

I really like that look...congrats Paul!
I'm not sure when but my next build is definitely gonna be as much MSI as I can get...lol
All I know is at this point it'll likely be an Intel on MSI with an MSI gfx...
It's a silly goal of mine that, for literally one dumb reason or another, hasn't happened.

It is good to know the bosses and employees, and to be his friend because the only way you will get something.
You can see it's all a hoax for free advertising. lying bastards

Thank you so much, just woke up to find an email from MSI, a great morning!

This is a great step towards building my intel rig since I currently have a budget 7850K mini-itx build in a 250D.

Dude you have been on TPU for a while; I am pretty sure we've talked in some threads. I did not expect that from someone who has hung around so long. I won some Gigabyte gear last month. So it's not rigged. But good luck next time. :/
