MSI Z97I GAMING AC (Intel LGA 1150) Review
3D Performance Results »CPU Performance Results
I spent a couple of weeks with the MSI Z97I GAMING before beginning my performance testing, running various configurations and CPUs and checking hardware compatibility. I verified my power consumption numbers using different power supplies and played a few hours of games with some members of the TPU community to get an overall feel for the board and to verify stability. Once completed, I tore down the system, mounted my CoolerMaster TPC812 cooler, and put the board through the paces. I will, as with other recent reviews of mine, let the numbers do the talking.SuperPi
