easy UEFI interface, performance, overclocking, power consumption, accessories, price/performance ratio
The Z170 gaming series reviews from MSI started with Z170A Gaming M5 motherboard. It left me with a very good impression.The red and black aspect is quite nice while the features like DDR4 Boost, Military Class 5 components and overclocking capabilities j...
Attractive red-and-black aesthetics, Two metal-reinforced PCI Express slots, USB 3.1 Gen 2 support, Two x4 M.2 slots, Reasonably priced
Only two USB 3.1 ports (one Type A) and four USB 3.0 ports, No onboard power/reset buttons or Wi-Fi
Thanks to USB 3.1 Gen 2 and dual M.2 support, along with a pair of reinforced graphics slots, this is our favorite board so far for a gaming-centric Skylake build on a budget. Read More…...

MSI's Z170A Gaming M5 has lots of appealing characteristics. The board takes full advantage of the bounty of I/O built into the Z170 chipset. We're happy to see dual M.2 slots fed with quad PCIe Gen3 lanes alongside dual SATA Express ports. USB 3.1 conne...
With the launch of a new architecture the best part to me is getting to see what all of the motherboard manufactures have been working on. Typically they don't release a lot of boards in between launches so a new launch means new features and sometimes c...
Sleek design and styling, Metal-plated PCI-Express slots, Killer E2400 networking, USB 3.1 and dual 32 Gb/s M.2 slots, Cool gaming software and a free 1-year license for XSplit, Post code display also shows temperature, Easy to use BIOS and Command Cente
No clear CMOS button, Not power and rest buttons, Would have liked software to all be under a single suite
First off you will have no problem running a dual graphics card setup with this board. You have support for 2-way SLI and 3-way CrossFire. Also the main two PCI-Express slots are metal-plated. This not only makes them look awesome, but gives you better st...
MSI’s Gaming series of motherboards have seen their fair share of ups and downs but ever since the M5 was first revealed, we were excited by its potential. Could it actually hit that fine balance between pricing, gamer-centric features and overclocking ch...
Abstract: With Intel slowly turning their cogs and rolling out the unlocked desktop versions of their Skylake CPUs, its yet another time to start considering if that Sandy Bridge motherboard just needs to have its last day. With Skylake comes the not so discrete pu...
Chip Killer E2400, Audio Boost 3, Doble puerto M.2, Puertos USB 3.1 Tipo A y Tipo C, Diseño estético renovado, Se pensó tanto en los gamers como en los overclockers
Nada que destacar
La placa madre se adaptó de forma perfecta a nuestras pruebas y ofreció un excelente rendimiento. Probamos su tecnología de sonido y realmente los resultados obtenidos fueron excelentes, permitiendo escuchar en detalle todo lo que sucedía a nuestro alrede...

Termina la espera y llega a oZeros la primera exponente de la nueva plataforma de Intel para procesadores SkyLake de sexta generación, con el nuevo socket LGA 1151 y un nuevo chipset llamado Z170, donde por primera vez en la plataforma mainstream se nos d...
Buen rendimiento en general, DDR4 Boost, circuitería avanzada para sacar un mejor provecho a la RAM, Presencia de LAN Killer E2400 y especial hincapié en el juego online, Elevada conectividad (incluye USB 3.1 tipo C, M.2...), Con los acabados y el sello h
No aporta propiedades exclusivas que no tengan ya otras placas
Nada nuevo bajo el sol. Teniendo la cantidad de placas Z170 de las que ahora disponemos, huelga decir que los resultados no distan demasiado de lo que ya sabíamos. El chipset Z170 es el mismo que ya conocemos, y el rendimiento puede cambiar un poco, pero...
