MSI Z370 GODLIKE GAMING Motherboard Review

System IO Benchmarks

CrystalDiskMark SATA6G:

CrystalDiskMark M.2:

ixChariot Network Throughput:

The Z370 GODLIKE GAMING has excellent storage and networking performance, that Killer wireless NIC is quite impressive, to say the least.

Audio RMAA 5.5:

I disable all audio features, set the correct bitrates, and then test the audio with a loopback test.

Sound Judgment by Ear: Excellent. The motherboard's audio is one of the most loaded when it comes to Z370 motherboards. Not only does it have an ESS SABRE DAC, but also a dedicated amplifier from ESS as well. MSI also used two Realtek ALC1220s, one for the rear and one for the front panel HD audio header. There are five ratings for audio: 1. Problems, 2. Okay, 3. Acceptable, 4. Very good, 5. Excellent
