MSI Z77IA-E53 Mini-ITX Motherboard Review

CrystalDiskMark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using V3.0 x64.

Today we are testing with the Intel 520 Series solid state drive.

Impressive results from the SATA 6Gbps ports on this motherboard.

Grinding Gear Games still hopes to finish Path of Exile 2 in 2026, but it will be later than planned

Path of Exile 2 has been in early access for around a year at this stage, but we are still quite a long ways off from release. The next major update will bring the game up to Version 0.4, although Grinding Gear Games says it is going to do everything it can to ensure that Version 1.0 does not slip into 2027.

  1. Ideal for a new build in the prodigy case.

  2. Good product, I like their video cards more than their motherboards lately 🙂

  3. I was quite interested in the on-board audio – they advertise the THX TruStudio, but it’s stil just a RealTek chip. I was planning on a Home-Theater/mini gaming rig, but the power seems to be very limited on ITX boards, which could be a problem if I want to upgrade.

  4. Very in-depth review but would have been a lot more informative if the benchmarks were also directly compared against other mitx’s of the same chipset.
