MSI Z87 MPOWER MAX Review
CatZilla and Resident Evil 6
Published: 21st August 2013 | Source: MSI | Price: £209.99 |
Catzilla
As we move from CPU benchmarks to 3D ones the results always narrow considerably, and CatZilla is no exception with every motherboard producing nearly identical results. Certainly ones that are well within the variance you'd expect from different runs and installs.
Resident Evil 6
In Capcom's rather disappointing Zombie shooter the MAX is neck and neck at the top of the graph along with the chart topping Sniper M5, both scoring 11044.

Personally I just love the CPU power delivery heatsink. Can not say why, but reminds me of Tron, maybe due to the bright colors and angles. Lovin' it!
Nice review guys.
PS, now I know what it reminds me of!!!

QuoteI was excited to hear about this board and I have to say I agree completely with your review. Looks like another cracking Z87 offering but when I was awaiting its arrival I did think they'd price it closer to the original MPower which seems to now have its gap filled by the GD65 GamingQuote
Hey there guys!
I just bought this motherboard yesterday... and the only reason (i have to admit) that i bought this one and not the gaming one was because of the looks. i hate red, specially the red used in the MSI gaming board (that looks like salmon color).
Anyway, i hope i can get the best out of this board performance wise
Thank you Tom for the review, and i wish you the best on your recovery.

One thing I was wondering is are you doing UEFI installs of Windows 7 or Bios Emulation on top of UEFI ?? Not that this affects performance but I have noticed boot times are almost twice as fast under UEFI....Quote
