Introduction


It seems that quite a few new Intel Z77 Express board products have been released recently, with nearly every board manufacturer sending me a new model within the past few weeks. Not to be outdone by the others, MSI contacted me recently to inform me that they had a new product I was sure to like. Not one to judge hardware before it's in my hands, I eagerly awaited the board's arrival on my doorstep. MSI told me they'd be sending me a Big Bang Z77 MPower board, a board designed to overclock the pants off your CPU.
