MSI General Manager (CEO) Charles Chiang Dies at age of 56
In what is an unfortunate news item, Sheng-Chang Chiang, also named Charles Chiang general manager and CEO of MSI fell off a building today, and passed away. The news reported by Taiwanese media moments ago, also is confirmed through our MSI backchannel.
The 56-year-old Sheng-Chang Chiang had just taken over as CEO of MSI in January 2019. He fell from the seven-floor building for unknown. Security of MSI went out on patrol and at 2 pm local time heard a loud noise. Chiang was found lying on the ground in the company's car lane. The police hurried to the scene and rushed him to the hospital for treatment, but unfortunately, he passed away. Authorities are investigating the incident. Chiang graduated from the Institute of Electronics, Jiaotong University. He previously served as Yangzhi Technology Associate and General Manager of MSI Desktop Platform Business Division and took over as MSI General Manager and CEO in January 2019. A company where he has had a role in for 20 years.
We wish the family, friends, staff at MSI and everyone involved or acquainted to Mr Chiang our sincere condolences and profound respect.

What a shame, truly. My condolences.
Their products have always served me well and when the one time my 2x GPU's failed me, I got a full refund. That is customer satisfaction.
You know it's funny you say this but whatever the problem or issue; and there have been some - like any company. MSI never tried to contest me on any product of theirs I had within exchange period, refund period warranty period etc - they always were quick to just swap me out. Now sure someone out there may have a opposite experience but man I just had nothing but bad luck with certain "other vendors". MSI blew the competition out of the water when it came to what you mentioned for me too.

Well I am glad to see I am not the only one that has experienced this, this just confirms it. I will be a MSi customer for a long time until they screw up somehow.
I had a GTX1070 from EVGA, the card failed just before the warranty ended, they couldn't replace it with the exact same model, and so, I asked for my money back and they only gave me back half of my money. They will never see me again, till today I am forced to use my old GTX580 because I refuse to buy the 1650 Super/ 1660 Super, which not only has less VRAM but a little worse performance. To say I feel cheated is an understatement, I call this theft, makes me wonder why they have a warranty at all.

The Tariff war caused many companies to leave mainland China for other countries including Taiwan like MSI here. Sheng-Chang Chiang spoke publicly on this in 2019. He barely had time to even be CEO. This is all so sad. I hope his death was not politically motivated. Taiwanese authorities are still investigating possibility of fowl play, naturally - this just happened.
