MSI X99A XPOWER AC Motherboard Review

Cinebench

We used the ‘CPU’ test built into Cinebench R15 .

WinRAR

WinRAR’s built in benchmark and hardware test can help us outline the performance differentials between each motherboard. We record the amount of data processed after a 30-second run.

Handbrake Conversion

We measured the average frame rate achieved for a task of converting a 4.36GB 720P H.264 movie (in the MKV container) to one in the MP4 container.

The MSI X99A XPOWER AC shows strong results in the CPU-heavy set of benchmarks. No glaring performance deficiencies are a positive sign for strong results when overclocked.
