MSI B350 Tomahawk Review

SiSoft Sandra

The good performance we saw in AIDA64 continues into Sandra, with the Tomahawk making good use of its overclock to cause some very heavy hitting motherboards to sweat a little.

Not finished reading through the review (haven't watched the video yet either) but I am pretty impressed with those OC numbers from a lower end board. Basically the same as all the other expensive boards.

Edit: really strange results for the Gaming benches. The CH6 is at least an extra 15FPS ahead of all the other boards(in the OC test)? How in the world does a motherboard make that much of a difference?Quote

So far the only difference would be BCLK overclockQuote

Yeah, the fact that a low end motherboard achieved such a solid overclock with the top-tier eight-core makes me much more hopeful that decent speed on an mITX board with a six-core R5 will be possible.

Now we just need to see if ASUS will do an X300 version of their Z270i.Quote

I cant remember the number now, it was one MSI sent over and I cant check because the board has gone back already.

Try upping your SOC volts and manually setting 3200MHzQuote
