TechPowerUp and Montech Summer Giveaway: The Winners!

btarunr · Sep 7, 2020

With Summer drawing to a close, as is our seasonal Giveaway. Earlier in July, TechPowerUp and Montech brought you a chance to pick up some cool Montech gear, including Gamma II 650 W 80 Plus Gold power supplies, Beta 550 W 80 Plus Bronze power supplies, and the company's Air X gaming case. The three mark Montech's arrival as a formidable player in the PC cooling, power, and casing hardware business, and there are three winners for each of the three hardware. Without further ado, the winners:

Montech Gamma II 650 W PSU won by: @maxfly from Ohio, Gerado from Wisconsin, and Jon from Indiana

Montech Air X Case (Black) won by: Cody from Missouri, Aidan from Texas, and Ricky from California

Montech Beta 550 W PSU won by: Ivan from California, Mary from Texas, and Rumman from New Jersey

A Huge Congrats to the nine of you! TechPowerUp and Montech will return with more such interesting Giveaways.

What exactly are the odds of winning twice? equal to or more than winning the actual lotto/lottery once? and yet the only actual "registered" winner on top of that, seems like our own little @maxfly is more lucky than a rabbits foot, I want to rub him all over my face for luck

"TechPowerUp and Montech brought you a chance to pick up some cool Montech gear"

Replace "you" with U.S. residents and it would be correct.
Loyal TPU members elsewhere get stiffed once again.

Our currently running Team Group giveaway is open worldwide. As I've mentioned several times, I keep telling mfgrs that they want world-wide, but some are scared because of logistics/laws/cost

Can't say "exactly". There's usually a few thousand entries, several prizes, shouldn't be hard to do the math now

I know it's not TPU's fault, but as long as it keeps happening I'll keep whinging, maybe they (the manufacturers) will take note one day.
