MSI P55-GD85 Pro Reviews

hardwaresecrets‘s review Edit

MSI P55-GD85 is an outstanding high-end motherboard for the socket 1156 platform, especially because it costs only USD 30 more than MSI P55-GD80, which is a similar motherboard from MSI without SATA-600 and USB 3.0 ports. One of the main advantages of P55-GD85 is the presence of a PLX PCI Express switch chip, which will allow you to achieve the maximum performance from your system even when using two SATA-600 drives, two USB 3.0 devices and two video cards at the same time. If you are looking for a fully loaded high-end motherboard for your socket 1156 CPU, this motherboard is worth serious consideration. We simply can’t find any single flaw on this product.

MSI throws their name in the hat of USB 3.0 and SATA 6 Gbps capable P55 motherboards with the massaged and tweaked P55-GD85.

HardwareZone‘s review Edit

At US$229, the MSI P55-GD85 is not the cheapest P55 motherboard around. It is one of the more complete P55 solutions in the market and with its support for the newer interfaces, should last you for quite some time. If you are a constant upgrader, you may not require the SATA 6Gbit/s and USB 3.0 support at the moment, due to the lack of such devices in the market. In which case, the P55-GD80 will save you some cash at US$185 with an almost similar set of features. In any case, you won't go wrong with either of these boards.
