MSI Z87 MPOWER MAX Review (w/ 4770k / HD7990 / 2,933mhz DDR3)


We measure performance of the Patriot Wildfire 256GB Solid State Drive when connected to the Intel Z78 Express Chipset controller.

The drive scores well – especially considering there is data stored on it for some of our tests today. The 4K QD32 results are excellent.

The ATTO Disk Benchmark performance measurement tool is compatible with Microsoft Windows. Measure your storage systems performance with various transfer sizes and test lengths for reads and writes. Several options are available to customize your performance measurement including queue depth, overlapped I/O and even a comparison mode with the option to run continuously. Use ATTO Disk Benchmark to test any manufacturers RAID controllers, storage controllers, host adapters, hard drives and SSD drives and notice that ATTO products will consistently provide the highest level of performance to your storage.

The drive peaks around 560 MB/s read and 510 MB/s write, as we would expect. The controller on the MSI Z87 MPOWER MAX gets a clean bill of health from us.

  1. Street Fighter

    my favourite of the bunch so far. awesome work MSI

  2. nice system build. In my dreams.

    Seriously though im thinking about this board for my next build – once I get my money back from DABS for a faulty product.

  3. I think the gigabyte boards look the best, but its not that big a deal when they all seem this good. ASUS Is my least favourite.

    Good job from MSI with this one – i have had good succcess in the past with MSI products.

  4. I think that this has to be one of the nicest looking 1150 boards that you’ve looked at in the past few days, well done MSI!

  5. bought, own it, love it.
