MSI X48 Platinum Pro Reviews

TechRadar UK‘s review Edit

This DDR3 board has a small bandwidth lead over the DDR2 Foxconn P45AL, but other than that the scores are nigh-on level – proof that there's no need to upgrade to DDR3 unless you're throwing an i7 into the mix. Its stature as a robust home for higher-end Core 2s is intact. Sadly, it's no longer future-proof.

AnandTech‘s review Edit

Out testing was certainly not without problems, and the X48 Platinum is still far from perfect, but even in the face of this we really enjoyed our time working with this board. MSI has done a very good job of engineering a relatively low-cost X48 motherboard that shows it has the potential to hang with some of the big dogs. A few refinements here and a couple of BIOS tweaks there should allow the X48 Platinum to be a really good alternative for those who need a gaming or multi-GPU solution without the higher prices that will prevail at the top end of the X48 market.

xbitlabs‘s review Edit

Anyway, in the very beginning of this review we agreed to compare MSI X48 Platinum against the best Intel X38 Express based solutions, but here MSI X48 Platinum couldn’t outperform ASUS Maximus Extreme, especially when it came to working with the memory subsystem.
