MSI Z97A Gaming 6 Motherboard Review

Luke Hill June 19, 2015 Featured Tech News, Motherboard

We will outline the performance increases that can be obtained from using the MSI Z97A Gaming 6 motherboard to overclock our system. Our overclocked processor frequency was 4.7GHz and memory speed was 2400MHz.

As a performance comparison, we have included the overclocked results from eight other Z97 motherboards. The maximum overclocked configuration achieved with each board was a 4700MHz (47 x 100MHz) processor frequency and 2400MHz CL10 memory speed.

The Z97A Gaming 6 shows similar performance to other motherboards running at the 4.7GHz clock speed and 2400MHz memory. There are no glaring performance deficiencies shown by the overclocked performance results.
