MSI P7N Diamond 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 the key areas of the motherboards.

The results from the MSI P7N Diamond continue to closely follow those of the Striker II. The P7N suffers the same fate as the other 780i specimens, and performs poorly. Thankfully, the memory bandwidth test allows the P7N Diamond to shine, because there's not a whole lot more about the Sandra tests that casts the P7N Diamond in a positive light.
