Test Setup
Our test system is normally placed in a table for you all to see, but with a CPU/GPU/Motherboard combo, it would be hard to place it so that it all makes sense. Therefore, we have simply created a list of the components used for our tests.
- Asus E35M1-M Pro
- BFG EX Series 1200Watt PSU
- 4GB Kingston KHX1800C9D3K2/4G @ 1333MHz
- Kingston V+ Series 64GB SSD
- Kingston 32GB DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0
We used various different applications for testing from synthetic benchmarks to the latest gaming benchmarks and the following is a list of the software used:
- SiSoft Sandra
- AIDA64
- HDTach
- ATTO
- PCMark Vantage
- 3DMark 06
- 3DMark Vantage
- 3DMark 11
- HyperPi
- TechArp x264 HD Benchmark
- WinRAR
- Cinebench R10
- Cinebench R11.5
We also used other software for measuring certain aspects of the systems performance, including SpeedFan, CPUID Hardware Monitor, CoreTemp and also Prime95 to give 100% load to the CPU so that we could measure the power consumption through a plug-in electricity monitor
For comparison purposes, we will be comparing the board to a Jetway PineTrail Intel Atom based board and a Zotac IONITX-F-E board to see how the performance is affected from each benchmark/test.
