With MSI's Z87 XPower providing a CPU frequency boost to 4.5GHz, 3DMark 11 barely shows an improvement.
that is one big big mobo! lovely design, I like their boards this generation, very attractive designs.
been wondering about this board since it was announced. Id like to see a review of some of the maximum boards soon too. this MSI board is on my shortlist.
They make the sexiest boards but gigabyte Z87 are giving them a run for their money this time. Its a kick ass board, but im not moving to haswell, its a sucky generation. waiting on the next one, quite happy with my 3570k
