MSI Z77A-GD65 - Common LGA1155-board by Micro-Star Company

Like the other major motherboard manufacturers, the company Micro-Star Intel thoroughly prepared for the appearance of Ivy Bridge processors and new chipsets of seventh series. Motherboard companies use simple and understandable system of names, that is why it is not difficult to arrange in order of seniority, all six motherboards based on the logic of Intel Z77 Express, from the main MSI Z77A-GD80 to younger Z77A-G43 and the small Z77MA-G45.

The box, in which comes motherboard MSI Z77A-GD65 is traditionally designed. The front side is decorated with different logos and the centre has a large poster. On the reverse side of the box there is a summary of some advantages and features of the board.

One of the characteristic weaknesses about motherboards of Micro-Star Company is the lack of panels to display USB 3.0 ports on the front wall of the chassis. The layout of the motherboard MSI Z77A-GD65 is close to the classical, and therefore it not only looks good, but is easy to use.

Heating elements of the power converter of the processor, built on quality components «Military Class III» are covered by two additional radiators, connected with a heat pipe. All radiators on the board, including the third on-chip chipset, use a strong screw fastening. In the upper right corner there is a line of LEDs «CPU Phase LEDs», clearly showing the number of active phases of the voltage regulator of the processor, illuminated power button, reset button and «OS Genie», with the help of which it is possible to automatically overclock the system. The nearby bar «V-Check Points» with a set of adapters «V-Check Cable» will allow manual control the current level of critical voltages with a voltmeter with convenience.

Thanks to the chipset of Intel Z77 Express, on which the board is performed, it is equipped with four ports SATA 3 GB / s (black connectors) and two ports SATA 6GB / s (white connectors), which are supplemented by two more SATA ports 6 GB / s, based on the controller ASMedia ASM1061. Another label information can be seen at the lowest of the three slots — PCI Express 3.0/2.0 x16. In the guidance to the board there is a graphic illustration of possible formulas of these connectors.

It should be noted that with an additional controller VIA VT6315N the board supports IEEE1394 (FireWire). Still there is no more slots left on the rear panel, and a single port can only be found in the form of a connector on the motherboard. Speaking about the software that is included on motherboards of Micro-Star, «Winki 3" should be mentioned — a free operating system based on the kernel Linux.

It is easy to notice that when working in nominal mode, the motherboard MSI Z77A-GD65 does not possess high levels of performance in all tests, it has the last or penultimate place. There is no reason to expect changes in the situation also during acceleration, because board failed to provide the same over clock of the CPU, in comparison to models of other manufacturers.

When comparing energy consumption, boards MSI Z77A-GD65 win some respect. When operating at rated speed, it has the most cost-effective, and consumption could be even slightly lower, if initially all processor power-saving technologies from Intel worked on the board.
This is a common Micro-Star motherboard with the typical pros and cons. Motherboards of Micro-Star company can not raise the voltage in the CPU in «Offset» mode. Almost for every plus of the board there is a minus, and therefore clients have the opportunity to decide whether MSI Z77A-GD65 is worth taking place their computers or it will yield to the competing models from other manufacturers.
