After all the hardware we’ve given away this summer, you’d think the well would have run dry by now. But no, we have more goodies for TR readers. The prize package for our latest contest includes not only a hot-clocked MSI GeForce GTX 760, but also a kilowatt Corsair PSU.
We reviewed the GeForce 760 GTX a couple of months ago and were impressed with its ability to run games smoothly at the relatively high 2560×1440 resolution typical of 27″ monitors. This particular MSI model sells for $260 and boasts higher GPU speeds than Nvidia’s defaults. The base clock has been cranked from 980 to 1085MHz, and the boost clock is up from 1130 to 1150MHz. A custom heatsink with dual 100-mm fans and loads of heatpipes keeps the GPU cool. MSI has added software for overclocking, profile management, and video capture, too. And there’s a download code for Metro: Last Light on top of that.
In addition to the graphics card, our lucky winner will receive Corsair’s Professional Series HX1050 PSU. This $220 monster has 80 Plus Gold certification, a seven-year warranty, and the ability to push 1050W on the 12V rail alone. Like all good enthusiast PSUs, the HX1050 has modular cables. Corsair has certified the unit for use with Intel’s latest Haswell CPUs, as well.
Our prize package is worth nearly $500, and entering for a chance to win it is pretty straightforward. Here’s how you do it:
- Sign up using the form below.
- Correctly answer one easy question: What is the model number of the GeForce GTX 760’s GPU? (The answer can be found in our review.)
- You might also consider “liking” us on Facebook.
- …or following Scott on Twitter.
- …or checking out Cyril’s book.
(The last three parts are completely optional, but they won’t hurt. We promise.)
