Test Setup
Most of the test system consists of a CPU/GPU/motherboard combination, and therefore the main specifications of our test system are already known in the form of this motherboard we’re testing today.
The rest of the test rig consists of:
Throughout the testing phase, lots of different applications were used including gaming benchmarks and an array of synthetic tests too.
These included:
We also use other software in terms of system performance monitoring. These include CoreTemp, CPUID Hardware Monitor and SpeedFan for measuring temperatures and also Prime95 to simulate 100% load on the system’s CPU.
We also measure the overall power of the system using a plug-in electricity monitor, which gives us a wattage result of the complete system power draw at the plug in idle and load states.
When reviewing a motherboard and completing tests, it is usually easy to compare one product to a similar one. This gives a clear indication into the performance of the test sample. For our comparison we will be using the Asus E35M1-M Pro Fusion motherboard and Zotac IONITX-F-E motherboard.
