Chris Hadley / 13 years ago
To test this board, we are able to run all of our tests at stock speeds using a pre-defined setup of hardware. We will also be overclocking the processor to 4.6GHz to see how the board compares against the stock speed. Also in terms of overclocking, we will be looking to see how far we can push the processor.
Test system:
- Asus Maximus V Gene
- Intel Core i7 3770k
- Corsair Vengeance LP 1600MHz 8GB
- AMD Radeon 7970
- Antec Kuhler 920
- Corsair HX1050
- Kingston HyperX 240Gb SSD
- Patriot Wildfire 120Gb SSD
- Lian Li T60
- 3 x AOC E2795VH
We would like to thank Antec, AOC, Asus, Corsair, Kingston and Lian Li for supplying us with our test system components.
Comparison used:
- Overclocked to 4.6GHz
- Stock vs stock i7 2700k
- Overclocked vs overclocked i7 2700k

- 3DMark 11
- AIDA64
- ATTO
- Cinebench R11.5
