975X Platinum V.2 Motherboard:
For Conroe fans, MSI has released version two of their 975X
board that is worth checking out. It's also priced so that it
won't empty out your pockets. |

Things are pretty close across the board. The differences
between both 975X boards are minute and interchangeable, but both
trail slightly behind the 965.
PiFast
The MSI 975X literally runs away here by just over
a second. This surprised us a bit since all the other Intel based
boards were so close, but this was a reproducible gap between
the boards.
CDeX
The results are fairly close between the boards,
but the MSI 975X holds a clear 3 second lead over its closest
competitor. The gap can widen though with a larger music file,
so something to keep in mind.
TMPGEnc
Like the CDeX test, the results are close, but not
as close as one may think considering a larger file can make the
difference more apparent.

The MSI 975X falls a little behind in this test,
lagging 3 seconds behind the fastest board. It still keeps ahead
of the 955X based board by a small margin though.
