MSI Z77A-GD65 Gaming Motherboard Review

Here we can see the test system offers fairly efficient power consumption, even when overclocked.

  1. Awesome, great photos too Henry, really enjoyed that read. ordering one today as I am not moving to haswell this generation.

  2. Well that is a beautiful design, I love the dragon engraved into the heatsink. excellent power delivery potential. Price point is quite competitive, considering the big foot networking adds a lot of the cost.

  3. MSI bioses are solid, I always buy them. I am waiting on haswell and their high end board for the 4770k.

    Good product though, just at the end of a life cycle which might stop sales a little. Haswell is due in a few months.
