MSI PRO MOD Season 4 Now Open
MSI’s PRO MOD Season 4 modding competition is now open. With a theme of “RGB”, MSI is taking a more relaxed approach, allowing modders to decide what the word means to them and how it applies to the mod. MSI requires an MSI mainboard and MSI graphics card to be used in the mod, but also includes on-board graphics solution. Top prize includes an Intel Core i7-5820K system fully decked out in Corsair components including peripherals. There will be plenty of prizes for voting participants as well who are cheering on their favorite modder.
Winners will be showcased at the German Casemodding Championships (DCMM) and prize also includes free trip and hotel for the event in Cologne, Germany! So update those passports and get those dremels ready.
