MSI Z87 XPower gets reviewed and tested

MSI Z87 XPower gets reviewed and tested

For this review we take the MSI X87 XPower series motherboard. With a smile on my face I started inspecting this what seems to be incredible motherboard. Really, it has it all, it has style, the features the extra's and the tweakability that the modern gamer that craves a need for a high end PC, wants. It has the latest Killer E2205 chip, 'AudioBoost' audio with Creative labs SoundBlaster X-Fi 3 player, WIFI, WIDI, maximum multi-GPU options up-to 4-way assisted by a PLX chip and well the list only just started really.

You can read the review right here.

I havent personally but my friend did, he had a custom cooler card on bottom, because it was cooling itself off dissipating the heat inside the case, in that way the heat went down, and then the big fan from up front would push the heat away in the back, creating a pressure.

I also think thats a good idea with custom cooled cards, because otherwise if you put it on top it would send the heat down on the other two, and the middle solution is a no go since it would heat both of them, and it wouldnt have enough of the breathing space.

Only solution really is the bottom, especially in the case of 3 SLI.

You should be able to "fish" the 3-way bridge under the brace then install it in your rig connecting all three cards no modifacation I would go for it as the bottom card. Can't beat that price.

Thank you both. I'm going to say yes to buy that card and install it in the bottom position...and then I'll watch the temperatures.

Getting the MSI GTX 780 TwinFrozr Gaming OC 3GB card tomorrow or wednesday... then I'll see how it goes. If it gets too hot, then I just sell the card to find another reference cooled card.
