ASUS ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming WiFi Motherboard Review

3DMark Timespy Extreme

3DMark Time Spy Extreme is a Windows benchmark test that uses DirectX 12 to measure the performance of your gaming PC. It consists of two graphics tests and a CPU test that show complex scenes and simulate game physics and logic. It calculates a score for each test and a combined score for the whole test. You can use it to compare your system with others, test its stability and reliability, and optimize it for better gaming performance.

3DMark is available on Steam here.

The ASUS B650E-F Gaming WiFi doesn’t disappoint either, flying to the top of the charts on our first benchmark, with a very respectable score of 9099, and our highest CPU score of 9495 putting it way ahead of the competition here.

PCMark 10 Express

PCMark 10 Express is a shorter benchmark that focuses on basic home PC use. It includes the Essentials and Productivity test groups. It is less demanding than the main PCMark 10 benchmark. The Essentials test group covers the common tasks that people do every day with their PCs, such as web browsing, video conferencing, and app start-up time. The Productivity test group measures system performance with everyday office applications, such as writing documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.

Available now on Steam.

Even in PCMark 10 Express, which is great for stressing everything from the SSD to the RAM showed it held up great, scoring our second-highest score of 6881 points.

Super PI 2.1 WP

Super PI is a single-threaded benchmark that calculates pi to a specific number of digits. It uses the Gauss-Legendre algorithm and is a Windows port of a program used by Yasumasa Kanada in 1995 to compute pi to 232 digits.

Available now on Super PI.

It falls down the charts in Super Pi though, I’m not sure why, as it should have done better, but it scored 389 seconds putting it on par with multiple STRIX motherboards.

Cinebench R23

Cinebench is a real-world cross-platform test suite that evaluates your computer’s hardware capabilities. Improvements to Cinebench Release 23 reflect the overall advancements to CPU and rendering technology in recent years, providing a more accurate measurement of Cinema 4D’s ability to take advantage of multiple CPU cores and modern processor features available to the average user.

Available now on Maxon.

It is back on firm for Cinebench R23 through, which is one of the highest scores we’ve seen, hitting a very high 28433 points on multi-core performance and 1973 points for single-core performance.

AIDA64

AIDA64 memory benchmark is a feature of AIDA64, a system information and diagnostics software. It measures the bandwidth and latency of the CPU caches and the system memory by performing various read, write, copy, and latency tests. It uses different instruction set extensions and optimizations depending on the processor and memory type. It also supports multi-threading, multi-processor, and multi-core systems. You can use it to compare your system performance with others, test its stability and reliability, and optimize it for better performance.

Available now on AIDA64.

Memory performance seems a little bit on the low side to what I was expecting, but overall it still is competitive, but has room for improvement. However, what is good to see is that it has the second-lowest latency, and is certainly helping retain the high performance we’ve seen so far from the CPU.
