For all you people complaining about us benching on an EVGA board, we did this benching when we should have been sleeping on Tuesday night before catching our flight. Yes, MSI flew us out there and we spent an entire day working with their P55 boards. Everyone spoke to their GPU and MB R&D teams, I know I talked to the MB team for ~20 minutes just dumping all my thoughts on the board. Combine that over 20 benchers and you have a LOT of feedback. While I don't think the event was efficiently planned(too much time at the dinners!) I believe MSI achieved exactly what they were after. There was no chance in hell the MSI boards would have been able to achieve the clockspeeds we hit on the EVGA afterwards. However hopefully the feedback they received from us will go into making their P55 Big Bang series a solid set of boards. The components themselves looked and felt strong, the BIOS just wasn't there. Had fun, now time to fire off a huge email full of feedback.
