Qualität hat seinen Preis. Diesen Spruch muss auch MSI mit seinem Mainboard Z77A-GD65 bestätigen. Für viel Geld gibts hier eine leistungsfähige Platine, mit einer umfangreichen Ausstattung und einem geringen Stromverbrauch.
Es gibt kaum etwas zu meckern und sowohl die Performance als auch alle anderen Leistungswerte konnten im Test überzeugen. Alles läuft wie es soll und auch die Stabilität sowie die Kompatibilität wussten zu beeindrucken, wobei der Preis das wohl einzige Manko dieses Bauteils ist.
