Abstract: Earlier in the year we had the opportunity to meet with MSI while we were in Las Vegas Nevada for CES 2012. While we were visiting their suite they showed us one of their boards that will be available for the upcoming Intel 'Ivy Bridge' processor la...
For this board to wow me, it needs to show the world why it's a gaming board and at the same time that it's very much worth being called a gaming board. It is all good and well whacking the gaming moniker on a product, but if it doesn't perform in that ma...
The average price of around € 178 for the MSI Z77A-GD65 Gaming is in line with the MSI Z77 Power and also the ASUS P8Z77-V ( comparison table ). Putting it next to more affordable motherboards is also appropriate here. The main difference with the stand...

Stock performance falls slightly behind other rivals
Ever since the Z77A-GD65 arrived I have been keen to share my thoughts on this delightful offering from MSI. Those reading this will have undoubtedly read various Z77 motherboard reviews around the web already; we have held back any reviews as we deci...
Abstract: We will have to wait another couple days for Intel's third generation Ivy Bridge processors, but the related Z77 motherboards are officially available since last weekend. So, what's new and what's different about this new 7 series? A lot of information ...
