Cinebench R11.5
CINEBENCH is a real-world cross platform test suite that evaluates your computer’s performance capabilities. CINEBENCH is based on MAXON’s award-winning animation software CINEMA 4D, which is used extensively by studios and production houses worldwide for 3D content creation. MAXON software has been used in blockbuster movies such as Spider-Man, Star Wars, The Chronicles of Narnia and many more.
CINEBENCH is the perfect tool to compare CPU and graphics performance across various systems and platforms (Windows and Mac OS X). And best of all: It’s completely free.
A strong score was shown when utilising the CPU testing aspect of Cinebench and the overclock helped push things a tad bit further.
Super PI
Super PI is a computer program that calculates pi to a specified number of digits after the decimal point—up to a maximum of 32 million. It uses Gauss–Legendre algorithm and is a Windows port of the program used by Yasumasa Kanada in 1995 to compute pi to 232 digits.
Super PII is where the X79 platform really excels and overclocking to 4.6GHz shaves almost three minutes off of the rendering time.
i like the black and gold colour scheme
You used BIOS v1.1 on this board? Or did you update it before testing? ASRock state BIOS must be 1.2 or 1.6 for all socket2011 CPUs.
How are you using USB3? This is not implemented in the Sandy Bridge E (or any CPU that I know of)
We used the latest BIOS at the time.
USB3 is implemented through use of a separate controller; usually ASMedia.
