Gigabyte E350N-USB3 AMD Fusion Mini-ITX Motherboard

Test Setup
Throughout the testing phase, lots of different applications were used including gaming benchmarks and an array of synthetic tests too.

These included:

• SiSoft Sandra
• AIDA64
• ATTO
• HDTach
• PCMark Vantage
• 3DMark 06
• 3DMark Vantage
• 3DMark 11
• HyperPi
• WinRAR
• Cinebench R10
• Cinebacnh R11.5
• TechArp x264 HD Benchmark

We also use other software in terms of system performance monitoring. These include CoreTemp, CPUID Hardware Monitor and SpeedFan for measuring temperatures and also Prime95 to simulate 100% load on the system’s CPU.

We also measure the overall power of the system using a plug-in electricity monitor, which gives us a wattage result of the complete system power draw at the plug in idle and load states.

When reviewing a motherboard and completing tests, it is usually easy to compare one product to a similar one. This gives a clear indication into the performance of the test sample. For our comparison we will be using the Asus E35M1-M Pro Fusion motherboard, Zotac IONITX-F-E motherboard and Jetway NF06FL-510-LF Atom based motherboard. By using several different systems, it enables us to give a broader spectrum of results for comparison purposes.
