In testing this motherboard, we will be running through a series of benchmarks showing performance at stock settings vs. overclocked settings on the cpu and memory to get an idea of what I was able to accomplish with this board. All graphics tests are run using stock clock speeds on the graphics cards to eliminate any fluctuation in the results.
The system benchmarks we will be using are,
- Apophysis 2.2
- PcMark 05
- Sisoft Sandra
- Sciencemark
- Cinebench 9.5
- HdTach 3.1
- SpecViewperf 9.0
Here are the results of these tests.
Apophysis 2.2 is a program for rendering fractual flames
Lower is Better
PcMark05 is a system benchmark by Futuremark. It is designed to test your complete system.
Higher is better
