Asus P8Z77-V LX (Z77) Motherboard Review

Cinebench R11.5

CINEBENCH is a real-world cross platform test suite that evaluates your computer’s performance capabilities. CINEBENCH is based on MAXON’s award-winning animation software CINEMA 4D, which is used extensively by studios and production houses worldwide for 3D content creation. MAXON software has been used in blockbuster movies such as Spider-Man, Star Wars, The Chronicles of Narnia and many more. CINEBENCH is the perfect tool to compare CPU and graphics performance across various systems and platforms (Windows and Mac OS X). And best of all: It’s completely free.

Starting things off with Cinebench, we can see that the P8Z77-V LX falls within where it should at stock.

When overclocked, we can see a nice boost from 7.02 to a very respectable 9.34 CPU score.

Super PI

Super PI is a computer program that calculates pi to a specified number of digits after the decimal point—up to a maximum of 32 million. It uses Gauss–Legendre algorithm and is a Windows port of the program used by Yasumasa Kanada in 1995 to compute pi to 232 digits.

Moving on to Super PI we see a time of 9 minutes and 20 seconds, allowing the board to compete with other similar boards, and in some cases, compared to the ECS and MSI boards, we see a slightly better result but only by a couple of seconds.

The overclock to 4.6GHz, we see an even 2 minutes being shaved from the calculation time.
