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.
As I was expecting from the limited power phases and my previous experience with the P8 series boards, the 4+1 power phase array does limit this board a little when at stock CPU speeds. Overclocking however does eliminate this bottle neck and the board soon brings itself back in line with other boards of a similar nature.
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.
SuperPI did record a time that was slightly slower than expected, but this is only a fraction off the average time, with the critical factor in this type of benchmark being the CPU itself – less the board.
After working with so many so called high end boards one tend to become jaded, simple boards like these are a breath of fresh air, they’re easy to work with, overclock surprisingly well and do exactly what they’re supposed to. To my way of thinking, simple is better.
The chipset heatsink is the exact same one which I had on the south bridge of my old Asus X58 board.
good motherboard for beginners like me..
eteknix can you please tell me if it can SLI.?
it can 2 way sli or crossfire and it comes with sli bridge
