Testing – System
Next up on the benchmarking assault course are our full system benchmarks.
To start we use PCMark 7, an overall benchmark that provides you with a score at the end of its run.

Following that we use PCMark’s sister suite, PCMark Vantage, which gives us an overall score as well as individual scores for each suite.

Then it’s time for PassMark’s Performance Test 7, which gave us some interesting information

The final full system benchmark we run is back in SiSoftware’s Sandra, again providing a score at the end of its benchmark cycle.

Another great review! As a person just really learning about computers and hardware it’s nice to see someone really breakdown all the details and explain it at a level that I understand. Thanks guys.
I found the motherboard instantly attractive and after reading the review it sounds like it functions as good as it looks. I especially like the blue and black theme. If I can have both looks and function great. I found the review helpful and meticulously done. Thanks!
Thanks for the great review of this mobo! I have new pc build that I am planning out and this mother fits perfectly around my budget. I was looking for good mobo around the $200 price range and this one is perfect fit.
Wow very thorough review! This will definitely help in my decision making for future mobo purchases.
can i use this board with an i7 3700k processor?
Yes, you can!
