Audio Performance
When trying to score the audio performance, there are many different things that can affect the performance from the cable quality to too many different sound managers active at once. The performance provided by the SuperMicro board is actually pretty good considering the home roots in server components.
16 Bit, 44KHz (DVD Quality)
16 Bit, 96KHz (Studio Quality)
24 Bit, 96KHz (Studio Quality)
DPC Audio Latency Analyser
I’ll be completely honest, I wasn’t expecting anything amazing on the sound testing, but this blew me away with one of the lowest recorded latencies so far.
Eh? ‘Overclockers Dream’ award but you said, “The BIOS features are so extensive that trying to overclock the CPU was an absolute nightmare. The BIOS needs a lot more work to become user-friendly on a mass scale”. Doesn’t make sense to me…
However the performance was surprisingly very good! Perhaps a ‘Performance’ award of some kind would have been better suited.
I bought it. It takes 12 seconds to load the bios logo and 28 seconds in total to show the windows 10 login. Performance?!
