As we’re trying to branch out with more relevant reviews for all of our readers, we’ve started this new section with server grade motherboards and we’ve also begun reviewing workstation systems such as the Boston Venom 3401-7T.
To test a server grade motherboard like this, we want to stress every component of the system to check stability and performance. While the benchmarks in themselves test the actual connected components such as CPU and memory instead of the motherboard itself, the results will give us comparable figures allowing you as the reader to pick the best.
To test a motherboard like this, we need a lot of extra components and we’ll be using the same each time. You can find a complete list of them below.
System components
We use a wide variety of applications to gain a broad spectrum of results for comparing diverse aspects of the system performance.
Software
There are more components needed such as a switch to connect the network ports to and storage drives to test the different connections that the motherboard has to offer.
