MSI P55-GD65 Motherboard Reviews

  "After our barrage of testing, the $159.99 MSI P55-GD65 came through with flying colors. Comparing it to a similar motherboard that costs nearly $100 more, the performance was nearly identical. The only place you would be able to tell a difference is running benchmarks, because in day to day performance it would seem identical.
  
  Where the MSI P55-GD65 was what we would consider a solid overclocking motherboard, others may think the limits were too low. Honestly, unless you are spending upwards of $100 for CPU cooling, you are not going to see the benefits of a motherboard with extreme limits. I have no doubt that the memory overclocking results would improve if we were using our 2133MHz kit, but due to the heat spreaders' height, we were not able to use them with the Cooler Master V10."

  "The new Lynnfield-based Core i7 and Core i5 processors in the LGA1156 socket offer a new level of performance for a mid-market price that we haven't seen in a long time. Even though you can find P55 motherboards selling for as little as $119 today, The MSI P55-GD65 is definitely one of my favorites as it combines a great feature set with solid overclocking options and unique selling points like OC Genie for just $40 more. It should be no surprise then to find the MSI P55-GD65 as the motherboard of choice in our mid-range system on the PC Perspective Hardware Leaderboard - I am not the only one that has fallen for this board!"
