MSI boards are good for gaming but I wouldn't use them for higher overclocking. I had issues with power section on nearly every MSI mobo that I was testing. On my last board at some point phase LEDs were showing that 2 out of 8 phases are working.
If you check all APU boards ( not only MSI ) then you will see that most of them have weak power section or made of cheaper components. I had no chance to overclock any APU on cold but there is not many boards that I would pick for that. I was actually looking for some APU benching board but I wasn't convinced enough to anything that was on the market.
Btw. nice review Dino
