Premium feel and aesthetics, Well-equipped storage options, Brimming with extra features
The Z170A Gaming M5 is compelling
MSI's Z170A Gaming M7 comes with an MSRP of £180 which is reasonable for a near-flagship status gaming motherboard. There is one potential sticking point for prospective buyers which is that the Z170A Gaming M5 costs £150 yet only loses out a negligible n...
Excellent performance, High quality audio, Feature packed, Game Boost is a great concept, Multiple M.2 ports for ultra high-speed storage,
Premium price, Red is becoming played out, “The MSI Z170A Gaming M7 offers one of the best Z170 experiences, combining great performance with great looks and an absolutely huge and innovative feature set.”, MSI Z170A GAMING M7 (LGA 1151) Motherboard Revie
PricingThe MSI Z170A Gaming M7 has an MSRP in the UK of £179.99. For launch day, MSI have partnered up with Coolermaster to offer very limited stock of the Nepton 120XL AIO cooler. This is an extremely limited offer and can save you up to £70 if you do no...

Abstract: There's a strange assumption among motherboard makers that red and black is the colour scheme of choice for PC gamers. Not only is it used on the majority of Z170 motherboards, but it's also seen on many cases and even gamingfocused displays. Assuming you...
Improved ClickBIOS, Full of nextgen interface goodness, Probably more PCIE lanes than you'll ever need, Onboard power, reset, and overclocking…plus POST code display
— What's with that silly I/O port shroud?, — Some separate, singlefunction utilities should be built into Command Center
The MSI Z170A Gaming M7 is a solid, high-end gaming motherboard that effectively leverages the new features of Intel's Z170A chipset without going overboard on “tack-on” features. Probably the only thing that struck me as silly was the rather flimsy alumi...

Abstract: Intel unveiled its Skylake architecture two months ago with the top Core i7-6700K and Core i5-6600K chips. Today, a locked and lower clocked version of the 6700K, the 6700 is also available, as are the Core i5-6600, 6500 and 6400. As of writing, we are al...
The MSI Z170A Gaming M7 is nothing short of an excellent motherboard that has value going for it as well. It is not a "kitchen sink" motherboard, and honestly we tend to like that sort of design a bit better as it drives cost down, but not engineering and...
Dual Card SLI Support, Extra space between video card slots, SATA Express, Dual M.2 Slots, Triple Monitor Onboard Video, Lighted Ethernet Keystone, Excellent Overclocking, Onboard Game Boost, USB 3.1 Type C
Difficult to see what Game Boost is setting or the target it will attain, Very Few I/O based USB ports (all via headers)
“Gaming” or “Game Ready” is a common buzzword in hardware marketing as a way to help define what that particular bit of hardware is designed to do. When it comes to motherboards this would normally indicate an upgraded audio solution followed by some fanc...
Having already worked with the Z170A Gaming M7 during the Intel Core i7-6700K Skylake review, I had a good idea about the levels of performance to expect from MSI's motherboard. After going through the testing process with the MSI Z170A GAMING M7 as my ma...

Of the motherboards we received for review before the launch of Skylake, we had a reasonable mix of the regular price bands, from $160 to $250, and even up at the top for $500. These more mid-range price bands are typically where most motherboard manufact...
