![]() I am shocked that this board is not getting more attention, in my opinion it is the MSI board for anyone who doesn't need SLI. I knew I was getting a little The difference between x58 and Z97 is shocking, boot times are very fast, temperatures are very cool, everything works efficiently and in absolute harmony, Windows 7 is much more responsive, even though I went from a top of the line i7 to a bottom of the barrel Pentium. I bought this board to replace an EVGA x58 board in a combo with the Pentium G3258 (highly recommend as well) because my i7 970 6-core met its inevitable end after years of loyal service. Overall Review: This is a "first impressions" review, but so far I am very impressed. Info panels for each item in UEFI are relatively unhelpful, user's manual isn't any better. OC genie remains useless in my experience, but I wouldn't use it even if it did work. Legacy PCI slots, kept me from buying a new wireless card.Ĭons: No SLI, which isn't a problem for me. Manual overclocking is quick, easy, and stable. UEFI interface is not bad, relatively easy to navigate and work through. Fit and finish is excellent, 'feels' like a much more expensive board. ![]() Pros: -All of the quality and performance of the Gaming 5, 7, and 9, just missing a few features that most of us don't use anyway. ![]() Gaming Device Port: Optimized with Triple Gold-plating for High Polling Rate Gaming DevicesĪdditional Information Date First Available Sound Blaster Cinema 2: Realistic Surround Sound Experience ![]() Guard-Pro: Improved Protection and Power EfficiencyĬlick BIOS 4: Easily Fine-tune Your System XSplit Gamecaster: Show off Your Skills and Achievements USB Audio Power: Surve Stable 5V Power & Better Signal Transmission over USB Supports 4th and 5th Gen Intel Core / Pentium / Celeron processors for LGA 1150 socketĪudio Boost 2: Reward Your Ears with True Quality Supported only by CPU with integrated graphicĭDR3 3300(OC)/3200(OC)/3100(OC)/3000(OC)/2800(OC)/2666(OC)/2600(OC)/2400(Oc)/2200(OC)/2133(OC)/2000(OC)/1866(OC)/1600/1333/1066ġ x PCIe 2.0 x16 slot (PCI_E4, supports x4 speed)Ģ x USB 2.0 connectors (supports additional 4 USB 2.0 ports)ġ x USB 3.0 connector (supports additional 2 USB 3.0 ports) MSI's Z97 Gaming 7 motherboard offers a bevy of updated features and aesthetics to usher in the Intel Z97 chipset-based product line.
