MSI B360M Mortar Micro-ATX Motherboard Review

Synthetic Benchmarks

The MSI B360M may have a cut down chipset, but it certainly doesn’t lack when it comes to performance. It delivered a fantastic 22219 in 3DMark Firestrike, putting it ahead of the Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 3 B360. It went on to hit an equally impressive 5529 in Unigine, which is competitive with everything else, and it’s obviously got no issues unleashing the power of our 1080 Ti GPU. For PCMark 10, 5301 is a nice score, not a record breaker, but about where we would expect for B360 and competitive with the lower end of Z370. Finally, in WPrime, CineBench, and Handbrake, scores were competitive too, again on par with the lower end of Z370, which is what we would expect.
