MSI X99S MPower @ LanOC Reviews

When shopping for a new motherboard I've found that a lot of people tend to lean toward what you have had good experiences with in the past. For me I have a short list of companies that I tend to prefer in my personal rigs and MSI is on that list. When I covered the X99 launch I didn't have the chance to check out their X99 offerings but today I finally do. They sent over the X99S MPower. It isn't their highest end board but it is damn close. Now I can sit down and see how it compares to the competition. My previous experiences with MSI MPower boards have been good, but the X99 boards I have tested to date have been extremely good, will it be able to keep up? Let's find out.
