This year's Computex show held in Taipei, Taiwan is just the place to be for all of you overclocking enthusiasts. That is, only if we're to trust the statements of the Taiwanese motherboard manufacturer, MSI, according to which it's prepping an impressive overclocking show. As indicated by a recent press release from MSI, the company is going to collaborate with a well-known global overclocking site, called Coolaler, in order to

present attendants with an unique instance of overclocking.

The Nangan Hall Booth M607a is the place to be on the 3rd, 4th and 6th of June if you plan on checking out what the Coolaler webmaster and his team have came up with. Apparently, they will use the MSI P7N2 Diamond motherboard and two N9800GX2 graphics cards on a system that is going to support an amazing clock speed of 5GHz. They will be obviously using a liquid nitrogen cooling solution to cool the system to an extremely low temperature.

The purpose of the show is to prove MSI mainboard's advanced thermal design and high-quality material that ensure maximum stability and performance. The demonstration is also meant to prove that the Coolaler team is capable of achieving impressive overclocking setups. In order to do just that, they will use an Intel quad-core processor, although there's no official mention of which is the selected model. They will install two dual-GPU N9800GX2 graphics cards, thus enabling the overclocking platform for an NVIDIA Quad-SLI configuration.

Using a quad-core CPU along with an NVIDIA four core SLI-connected graphics cards setup, the Coolaler team is actually going to build a 4x4 overclocking platform. The MSI motherboard has been chosen because it features Hi-C capacitors that are meant to ensure a maximum of stability and performance.

MSI's presence at Computex has meant for us a series of new product releases, one of which was highly anticipated, namely the release of the MSI Wind sub-notebook.
