I made a thread about cancer (http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/335284-cancer-test-results-from-may-19th/) a while back with a scare I had. This community helped me a lot to get through it. As a result I would like to say thank you.

 

Community voted for EVGA. http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/382964-update-june-15th-evga-won-nvidiaamd-970290x-or-390x-giveaway-poll/

 

Giveaway

Prize is a graphics card

EVGA geforce GTX 970 ssc reference or EVGA geforce GTX 970 ACX 2.0 ssc. Winner will choose.

 

I would like to thank these people in the community who helped me through my tough times. If I missed your name I'm sorry.

I'd like this card because it will definitely help me with my video production work and folding at home.

to late

Just a guy who peaked at building back in the days of the GTX 980. If you see me here, assume i have technical knowledge akin to a committed hobbyist builder back then. If something's changed, you'll need to tell me(nicely plz). I'm probably asking for help with the modern build scene since I have no clue what's going on.

Alright just got home. super tired. Give me some time to go through all the entries. Each person will be assigned a number through RnG. 1-1000. Then I will run the RnG till a number is picked. Best of Luck. I will send the winner a message. Ask them if they want a reference or ACX 2.0 version of the 970. Then I will post the winner on here. Thanks all. Sorry I have been super busy.

How many entries are there ? 

Well seeing how there is 310 replies to this topic and not all of them are valid entries or they're replies.. I would I possibly estimate around 275+? 

 

I could be off, who knows...

Time to start a lottery of what the winning number might be. I am rooting for #69 for no very specific reason.

lol that actually came up but it was not the winner.

 

164 Entries were entered into the RnG.

Only 1 will win

 

Whiplash spoiler

 

After 4 fails with picking nobody's number. The RnG have favored someone.

 

Congratulations
