Super Pi is software that was designed for overclocking performance testing, it allows to test floating decimal point and mathematics performances of a processor. The test consists in calculating the part PI value with the CPU, the number being infinite.
We can select several lengths of calculations, from 16 KB to 32 MB and are using the modified 1.5 version and are running a 32MB calculation.
We've found that Intel based systems score a lot better in this test than AMD based systems in this test. A score of 12 minutes and a second for an Intel based system is quite good considering the system is not overclocked.
Yeah that doesnt look to be that good. the board layout, sata ports etc are badly designed. Fair score.
I dont think overclocking is that big a deal on a product like this, but there are weaknesses in quite a few other areas which are well noted.
Seems ok for a basic media center, but the pricing is putting it against better products.
Foxconn make a lot of products for other companies but this isn’t one of their best, thats a cert.
Poor value for money for such a stripped out board.
If they dropped the price to 50 quid then it would make more sense.
The bios needs an overhaul. its silly for them to offer overclocking in software and not in the bios.
This harware is OK for a media PC because you don’t need Sandy Bridge? What about transcoding? A media PC needs Sandy Bridge the most, for transcoding and reduced power dissipation. HD media streaming is actually very challenging for hardware.
aaaah i cant make my xfx 5830 work on this motherboard, my graphic card is fine id tested on my friend motherboard and it work perfect, i hate this motherboard
what bios version is used on this test?
