This motherboard is equipped an Intel I219V gigabit chip. This has proven to be a great improvement over the previous I218V in terms of performance, it still doesn’t consistently match the Killer E2400 option.
The Intel option on this motherboard is a strong option, but it lacks the overall performance to really wow within this particular test.
