Asus P8Z77-V DELUXE Review

Testing:

HD Tune measures disk performance to make comparisons between drives or disk controllers.

AIDA64 Extreme Edition is a software utility designed to be used for hardware diagnosis and benchmarking. I will be using the CPU Queen test that looks for the solution for the "Queens" problem on a 10x10 chessboard. This tests the branch-prediction capabilities of the processor. The FPU Mandel test measures double precision floating point performance through computation of several frames of the "Mandelbrot" fractal.

Burst Speed with HD Tune has the DELUXE motherboard scoring in the top two. Oddly overclocking dropped the speed for all boards except the ASRock Formula. In all other categories the DELUXE had some of the best scores.
