CPU-led performance is as we would expect from an LGA 1150 motherboard. Despite its diminutive form factor, MSI's Z87I Gaming AC provides performance numbers that are typical of a 4770K CPU.

  1. Awesome board, love MSI products – building a media center soon and this was already on my shortlist. unless something comes out soon which is better.

  2. This is my dream in 2014 – build a silent, small system which can play games at 1080p and not break the bank. Still working on it !

  3. Little Giant! Brilliant design, small but fully loaded.

  4. I just hope I could win that kind of awesome motherboard 😀

  5. Great performing board, great looks and very stable.
    Using it in a corsair 250D case atm.

    Motherboard layout can give some problems with cablemanagement tho when u want everything neat and clean. Thats something that could be improved next time.

    Having only 1 chafan conn is simply absurd.
