Our goal with the server and workstation motherboard review is to bring you a wide variety of tests and results which will, hopefully, allow you to make the best choice for your future setup.
It is not possible to test motherboards without additional hardware, but we also don’t want to test the connected devices. That is a fine line to walk, and we hope we’re hitting the spot. We will use the hardware needed, but we won’t go above that. By keeping it to the basics, we’re eliminating a false of performance originating from another piece of hardware.
We’ll install up to 8 memory modules, a processor with cooling, and storage drives of each type possible. There’s also a GPU installed, but one without any actual power. We do need monitor-output, and the GPU is also needed to run some benchmarks.
We use a wide variety of applications to gain a broad spectrum of results for comparing diverse aspects of the system performance. The OS will be Windows Server, and most should be familiar with the other applications and tools too.
There are more components needed such as a switch to connect the network ports which the motherboard has to offer. For this, I’m luckily equipped with a nice D-Link DXS-1210-12TC switch and a full set of CAT7 cables. We’ll also be using a power meter to check on the electricity consumption.
