I R Disappoint. More voltage per same frequency means bad news to me.

newlife · Sep 18, 2012, 02:17 PM

they should put it under a 24h ln2 7ghz test

One slight error in the copy, the USB 3.0 controller is by Renesas, not NEC, as NEC Electronics was sold to Renesas some years ago now

I might as well call it a Sony controller then.

Most reviewers wouldn't even know what that chip was, so just be happy it's identified!!.

This is the chip, for those that didn't look at that page:

How does the quality compare to older MSI boards from the 790FX/GX era? In your opinion?

Way better, but they need to tweak the BIOS a bit better for wider memory support, especially considering it's an OC board.

I guess it has a very narrow QVL?

Clearly.

I also had to boost VCCIO to 1.15 V and VCCSA to 1.125 V to pull 2666 MHz stable. This made my test CPU run a bit hotter than it has on other boards, so I wasn't exactly impressed. Sure, it was stable at 4.6 GHz, but I have had better.

Yeah, that BIOS came out after the review was done. Hopefully they toe it up, shouldn't be that big of a deal for them to fix. It's wasn't a "pre-release" BIOS that I used though..I ALWAYS update to the most recent public release before testing.

Lol. the 14th was friday. As if I do reviews in 2 days.

Itested this board last MOnday.

And to think I almost did a launch review on an earlier BIOS....

Well it was a great review, as all the reviews at Techpowerup

I like the MSI UEFI, prefer it to the Gigabyte one anyway.

Frogger · Sep 18, 2012, 11:25 PM

As always Great read! Thanks for your time spent. But I think your CPU still has pants

Looks like it might be time to look @ Asrock for a Z77 board. Even if I have a MSI Ligtning HD 7970

LeviathanPT · Sep 18, 2012, 11:55 PM

Great review guys!
Am i the only one to think that new top end motherboards should be in art museums ?

Daisho · Sep 19, 2012, 02:09 PM

Most interesting thing to me about this board is the right angled USB 3 header

. Right angle headers should be more commonplace imo.

popswala · Sep 20, 2012, 01:45 AM

This looks sweet. I love the black and yellow look. Would be perfect for my yellow theme build. To bad i don't have that case with me. Its at my inlaws since i moved and could't bring everything with me when I moved.

Whats with those lil holes with the brass sleeving? I didn't really grasp what you said about them.

popswala · Sep 20, 2012, 10:44 PM

sounds good. I thought they actually did something or maybe some add on part popped in there. wasn't sure. Thats kinda neat that they put that to show off how well it was made. MSI sure is going outta their way lately to make sure things are well made and can perform well. Sounds like they're just trying to cover their own butts and have a lot less rma's.

Dj-ElectriC · Sep 26, 2012, 09:00 PM

Defuq, my Z77 Mpower came with 17.3 BIOS preloaded, and it has been sent only a couple of days after the BIOS went public.

Any issues? You got a couple of 680's to go with it too, eh?

Now you just need some of that MPower ram...

m1dg3t · Sep 27, 2012, 01:34 AM

Excellent review as always Dave! Man that PCB is freakin' hot, 9 layers and easy on the eyes! The VRM section looks beefy too

Nice work MSi!
