MSI Z170A Gaming M7 Motherboard Review

3DMark

We used 3DMark‘s ‘Fire Strike Ultra’ benchmark which is designed to be used on high-resolution gaming PCs.

Grand Theft Auto V

We apply very near maximum settings in Grand Theft Auto V and a 1920×1080 resolution to push today’s hardware. Our data was recorded using the built-in benchmark. The game's latest updates may slightly affect performance on the more recently tested motherboards compared to competitors tested many weeks ago.

Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor

We used a 1920×1080 resolution and the Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor built-in benchmark set to ‘Ultra’ quality.

Gaming performance from the MSI Z170A Gaming M7 is solid. Performance differentials between competing motherboards are all within the margin of error of our tests.

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.
