MSI X370 XPower Gaming Titanium Motherboard Review

Cinebench R15

Cinebench is an application which renders a photorealistic 3D scene to benchmark a computer’s rendering performance, on one CPU core, all CPU cores or using the GPU. We run the test using the all core CPU mode.

Sandra Processor Arithmetic

SiSoft Sandra 2016 is a multi-function utility program that supports remote analysis, benchmarking and diagnostic features for PCs, servers, mobile devices and networks. We run the application’s processor arithmetic test to gauge the CPU performance on each tested motherboard.

Handbrake Conversion

Handbrake is a free and open-source video transcoding tool that can be used to convert video files between different codecs, formats and resolutions. We measured the average frame rate achieved for a task of converting a 6.27GB 4K video using the Normal Profile setting and MP4 container. The test stresses all CPU cores to 100% and shows an affinity for memory bandwidth.

A good set of CPU-related results from MSI. Clearly the vendor's engineers are doing a respectable job with the BIOS performance.

  1. Fervent Dissent

    You should test usb lag for mouse input. I hear fps gamers saying Ryzen is smoother because the usb is on cpu, vs Intel where it has to bounce between chips across the board. It’s more relevant at high refresh rates.

  2. I would still go for the Taichi X370, has better power…

  3. Hi I’m thinking of getting this motherboard but want to replace the m.2 shield with this (https://www.scan.co.uk/products/ekwb-ek-m2-nvme-heatsink-black-ribbed-aluminium-design-provides-passive-cooling-to-m2-2280-pcie-sata) DO you think I would have clearance issues with a gpu installed(I have the aorus 1080)?
