Sponsor: HWBOT is currently running an overclocking competition that ANYONE can join! (Join here).
We’re benchmarking MSI’s “Kombo Strike” feature that circumvents AMD’s rules to “overclock” (lightly used) the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D CPUs. Kombo Strike is a new MSI feature ranging Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 and is available on the company’s X570 and B550 boards. We’ve already performed benchmarking and reviews on the Gigabyte X570 Master, so we’ll be comparing MSI vs. Gigabyte motherboards for AMD both stock and with MSI’s (exclusive) Kombo Strike utility.

We bought the MSI board ourselves. MSI had zero involvement in this and we’re not really on speaking terms…
