This review is from: MSI Z170A GAMING M5 LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
Pros:
My first intel pc build, fast when working.
2133 ram is still faster than my AMD build
Cons:
xmp feature crashes everytime i try to use it, the motherboard cant handle 3600mhz. i have to downclock it to 2133 ram speed or else i get bsod memory problems, my ram default speed is 3600mhz.
I get cpu stutter while playing games sometimes seems like the bios update is not still supporting ram up to 3600mhz and the i7 6700k skylake.
would I have to wait for a new bios update fix?
Overall Review:
MSI has great features, Skylake is new atm so is the bios attempt fix for the cpu architecture ill be patient for a fix to come about.
