MSI P45 Platinum Review

Testing:

SiSoft Sandra is a diagnostic utility and synthetic benchmarking program. Sandra allows you to view your hardware at a higher level to be more helpful. For this benchmark, I will be running a broad spectrum of tests to gauge the performance of key areas of the motherboards.

The MSI P45 Platinum shows some promise in the Sandra testing. In several tests the performance is equal to or better than the X48-DQ6. The performance against the comparison P45 board shows performance to be equal to or slightly lower in many categories.
