MSI Z68A-GD80-G3 (Intel Z68) Motherboard Review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell September 30, 2011 Featured Announcement, Motherboard

The Matroska Media container is a very popular, open standard Multimedia container which is usually found as .MKV files. It is a very popular format in enthusiast circles and can be played directly in Windows Media Player with suitable codecs installed. We use the Combined Community Codec Pack (CCCP).

We ripped our BluRay disc of Sniper Reloaded to 1080P MKV and use Windows Media Player to playback the file.

MKV contained HD content is a more demanding test for partnering hardware, but we experienced no problems with the MSI Z68A-GD80-G3 system, demanding between 10 percent and 35 percent CPU time.

    Its a great motherboard, but it seems a little expensive. £200 ? That gigabyte board earlier this week was £85 and had everythign I needed.

    touch screen bios is a cool idea, but does anyone use a touch screen for a main desktop system? I doubt it really.

    I love MSI graphics cards, this is an excellent board, but that gigabyte Z68A has spolit me for money. £85 its a bargain. I could lose a few things on this one, such as dual x8, and a few ports, and that touch screen bios. if it saves me £115, makes sense.

    This was a genuinely extremely beneficial post. In theory I’d like to write like this also getting time and actual effort to make a good piece of writing but what can I say I procrastinate alot and by no means appear to obtain anything done.
