Isn’t it just as good on average as the Asus Z170i, meaning partly clearly better, and in 3DMark and CPU tests of all things?
As an unconvinced buyer I hate both boards, which are kind of the only selection, but I don’t know why the MSI usually gets the worse average performance score and the Asus’ problems are often not even noticed. Asus shucks… Completely unreliable. But the others are not even trying, in mini ITX and humane prices, at least.
It’s horses for courses really. The overall difference in performance isn’t MASSIVE, but there is still a minute difference which is why we compare! 😀
