ECS A85F2-A Golden Board (A85X) Motherboard Review

AIDA64

AIDA64 Extreme Edition is a streamlined Windows diagnostic and benchmarking software for home users. AIDA64 Extreme Edition provides a wide range of features to assist in overclocking, hardware error diagnosis, stress testing, and sensor monitoring. It has unique capabilities to assess the performance of the processor, system memory, and disk drives. AIDA64 is compatible with all current 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft Windows operating systems, including Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.

Moving over to see how good the SATA performance is, we find the ECS board again at the bottom of the pile and the overclock slightly increasing the transfer rate, but still falling behind most of the boards, even when they were using lesser spec processors too.
