MSI Z87M Gaming mATX Motherboard Review

Luke Hill November 29, 2013 Highlights-new, Motherboard

HandBrake is a fantastic free program that can be used to convert video files to many common formats for portable devices. HandBrake is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multi-platform, multi-threaded video transcoder, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows.

We used the latest V 0.9.9 version.

For our testing today we are converting a 4.4GB 720p MKV file (1h:58mins) to MP4 format, using HandBrake's ‘Normal' profile, for playback on High-Resolution devices. This is a common procedure for many people and will give a good indication of system power.

As many of the other tests have shown, the performance of both Z87 boards is almost identical. Handbrake reiterates that point.

    Gets my thumbs up. looks nice for the price too, most of the lower priced boards don’t look too nice.

    Will this hit the shelves in America in December too, and at what price point?
