MSI Z170A Gaming M7 Motherboard Review

box-1 box-2

MSI ships the Z170A Gaming M7 in a bright red box that would catch the attention of potential buyers in a retail environment.

A sectioned image of the motherboard is found on the front of the box, with in-depth feature information residing on the rear.

accessories

MSI includes a decent bundle with the motherboard. Aside from the usual four SATA cables, flexible black SLI ribbon, and explanatory rear IO shield, MSI also includes its ever-convenient M-connector blocks.

The well-sized case sticker features MSI's typical gaming branding with the now-infamous dragon.

docs

The standard affair of manual, quick installation guide, and drivers CD are supplied. In addition, MSI also provides a door hanger instructing people to refrain from disturbing your gaming session. And for those users with multiple SATA drives, the labels should assist with cable management duties.

Tryx Luca L70 Case Review – needs a lot more work

The Tryx Luca L70 had some negative press at launch but is it really that bad?

  1. I have this board with a i7 6700k @ 4.5GHz, Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000MHz (2x8GB), and Samsung 950 Pro M.2, and GTX 980 Ti – and I use Command Center all the time. I notice no performance hit when doing so, and after reading your review tested it on several programs and games. No difference. It’s not really impacting anything I do on my rig, gaming or not. If there is any performance drop it’s so tiny it makes no difference. BTW I really like this board. Been trouble free from day 1.

  2. Bought this last year shortly after the Skylake launch day and its a beast. No issues with performance, BIOS, gaming or software. One of the best motherboards I’ve owned.
