MSI Z170A XPower Gaming Titanium Edition Review

Cinebench

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

7-Zip

We manually archive a 1.23GB MP4 game recording to test the performance in 7-Zip.

Handbrake Conversion

We measured the average frame rate achieved for a task of converting a 1.23GB 1080P game recording using the High Profile setting and MP4 container.

Cinebench and Handbrake conversion numbers are boosted by the inaccuracy of MSI's default BCLK resulting in a higher CPU and memory speed.

Archival performance through 7-Zip is on par with an ASRock competitor and is one second behind Asus' part.
