what about samples from msi(manufacturer/vendor)....hazzan is competing @ msi contest using samples from msi

oh look at what brian@asus says about this sponsored guys...

way to go asus

We will not sample any hardware or modded hardware to ANYONE.If i catch anyone doing so, i will personally handle it myself. Our forum moderators will not qualify for the contest but they may post a few examples to help some of the new members understand how it should be done. We are purely here to teach new comers into the sport of overclocking and hope that the experienced members can help guide them to the top.
i know some won't be using samples..which is fanstastic..anyways...just chiming in ....lets compete
