Published: 25th March 2009 | Source: MSI | Price: £158.69 |
HDTach is a free hard disk benchmarking program from SimpliSoftware. This benchmark is not only capable of producing results on hard disk access times but also CPU usage required during disk access. The "Long bench" was run a total of 5 times with the highest and lowest results being omitted and an average calculated from the remaining 3 results.
SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information & diagnostic utility capable of benchmarking the performance of individual components inside a PC. Each of the benchmarks below were run a total of five times with the highest and lowest scores being discarded and an average being calculated from the remaining three.
Results Analysis
While the MSI X58 Pro certainly didn't disgrace itself, beating it's Platinum brother in most tests, it didn't perform as well as the other boards on test which is a shame as the board has performed very well thus far.
Let's see how the perform with our multimedia benchmark suite...

I guess this is for people who don't care about looks and want a cheaper alternative.
The opposite of this would probably be a bloodrage in terms of aesthetics and price.

At last! A board UNDER £200!
And its pretty good.

.Quite a few sub £200 boards now, 6 iirc. Nice review
I don`t think the esthetics of the mobo should be equally graded as performance. If u have a mobo that works 100% faster than the one that looks "kewl", u'd be a tad foolish to pick the slower one cos the memory slots glow in the dark.
I was gonna slate all the other cards on the list, cos quite frankly I feel this mobo embarasses the lot of them in terms of pricing.
They all peak and trough in various areas, but they don't all cost £50-60 more than this.
No SLI ? Think I could live with that.
Good stuff.

I think some people go on looks more than you would think Rast 
Great little board at a price point that motherboard manufacturers should be working downwards in price from. The market is going to die unless others follow MSI's price trend.

The looks of the board are very important to some, however the board was not marked down soley for looks but also for the packaging which pales in comparison to some of the other boards on test.
Oh, and the board IS sli capable
Fair play, the board performs well and aside from the voltage irregularities, is a decent all round effort form MSI but who the hell wants a brown motherboard (or anything else for that matter) "Aesthetics (what on earth were MSI thinking of?)" , too right mate, there's a reason brown is the colour of sh*t !
