Asus Z77-A (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.

As I was expecting from the limited power phases and my previous experience with the P8 series boards, the 4+1 power phase array does limit this board a little when at stock CPU speeds. Overclocking however does eliminate this bottle neck and the board soon brings itself back in line with other boards of a similar nature.

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.

 SuperPI did record a time that was slightly slower than expected, but this is only a fraction off the average time, with the critical factor in this type of benchmark being the CPU itself – less the board.
