  • Great board layout and styling, Military Class II Components, ClickBIOS, OC Genie II Feature, SATA 6GB/s and USB 3.0
  • DDR slots are close the CPU socket (same on many P67 motherboards)
  • The MSI P67A-GD55 is the first P67 motherboard we have tested, but we have seen many in person at CES. That being said the build quality and all of the features on the GD55 make it one of the favorites that I have seen even if I didn’t get down and di...

  • The MSI P67A-GD65 is a rock solid board that has the features needed to make a great motherboard. When we combine the price of the MSI P67A-GD65 with the performance it radiates, it is plain to see that it will satisfy the needs of any gamer or overc...

  • The P67A-GD65 is good but falls short of greatness. Overclocking it is a chore, although MSI tells us it's addressing this. The price works against it too, and while voltage readout points and on-board power switches are desirable, you won't use them ever...

  • The MSI P67A-GD65 is the first of a handful of new Socket 1155 boards that we have on hand to review in the coming weeks. It would be a bit unfair to proclaim this the "best P67 board on the market" or something similar, so we will refrain from doing...

  • Abstract:  Even the most cynical of PC enthusiasts—AMD fanboys included—have to admit that Intel's Sandy Bridge CPUs are all kinds of impressive. The latest architectural overhaul in Intel's tick-tock approach to processor development brings with it phenomenal perfo...

  • The MSI P67-GD65 showed to be a top class performer and overclocker. This motherboard is supposed to come in at the $200 price point, and for that much cash, it is a GREAT value. The P67-GD65 is the easiest motherboard in the world to overclock. Simply...

  • The MSI P67-GD65 is thus far the lowest price P67 board that we've tested; not bad for a board that was on par, and in some cases leading, our test results. The board is a great cornerstone to any build, and more than enough to tackle the most stressfu...
