Reviews last updated: May 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about MSI Z87 G43 Gaming

  • High value-for-money as a budget-friendly Z87 gaming board
  • Solid build quality using Military Class 4 components
  • User-friendly UEFI BIOS (Click BIOS 4) with easy overclocking options
  • Good expansion variety including legacy PCI slots for older cards
  • Quality onboard audio features with Audio Boost and EMI shielding
  • Effective networking performance via the Killer E2200 Ethernet controller
  • Attractive aesthetic with the Red Dragon gaming theme and black/brown PCB

What we don't like about MSI Z87 G43 Gaming

  • Heatsinks (especially near the CPU) are occasionally reported as loose out of the box
  • Memory slots are positioned close to the CPU socket, potentially causing clearance issues with large coolers
  • Lack of SLI support (only supports AMD CrossFireX)
  • Sideways-facing SATA ports can be difficult to access in smaller cases
  • Front panel I/O headers are not clearly labeled on the board itself
  • Software like MSI Command Center and Live Update are often described as unintuitive or buggy
  • The second PCIe x16 slot only runs at x4 speed

Verdict

The MSI Z87-G43 Gaming is an ATX motherboard built on the Intel Z87 chipset, specifically designed for 4th generation Intel Core (Haswell) processors via the LGA 1150 socket. It features four DDR3 DIMM slots supporting up to 32GB of memory at overclocked speeds of 3000 MHz, six SATA 6Gb/s ports with RAID 0/1/5/10 support, and two PCIe x16 slots (Gen 3.0 and Gen 2.0) that enable 2-way AMD CrossFire. Key pros include gaming-centric additions like the Killer E2200 Gigabit NIC for low-latency networking, MSI's Audio Boost with Sound Blaster Cinema support, and high-durability Military Class 4 components. However, notable cons include a lack of NVIDIA SLI support and a second PCIe x16 slot that is limited to x4 speeds, which can bottleneck dual-GPU performance.
