You guessed it again, the Gigabyte is stuck between the MSI and Asus boards. When looking at comparisons it’s unfair to use the Asus as it doesn’t support the same SATA III speeds, but the Gigabyte and MSI were extremely close by a variance of 1MB/s.
The overclock did allow extra bandwidth to be supplied to the SATA controller and saw the Gigabyte board push our SSD by giving it an extra 6MB/s.
