Intel DH57JG Mini-ITX Motherboard with Intel Core i5 660 CPU Review

Cinebench R10 has since been replaced by V11.5, but many people have a better indication of relative performance by the results from R10 – after all it has been around for years. We will however include R11.5 results on the following page. For those who don’t know Cinebench is not just a mere synthetic benchmarking application, it is based on the rendering engine from Cinema 4D.

The CPU test renders a 3D scene photo-realistically while applying performance intensive functions such as area light sources, procedural shaders, Ambient Occlusion and multi level reflections. Especially when used on faster, multi core CPU systems, MAXON CINEBENCH R10 delivers much more accurate results.

Despite only having two cores, the i5-660 performed well in this multi-core test, only lagging behind it's quad-core i5 750 CPU by 3000pts.

  1. Really good review, I like these systems and it is always great to see coverage. CPU is good for the price too. Not sure I agree it would need to be core i3, core i5 performance is very strong for the clocks.

  2. weird design if there is no CMOS clearance switch ?

  3. I need a media system like this, my PC noise levels are rubbish for media 🙁

  4. What is that cooler like? a reference intel cooler ?

  5. Nice little system that. Would probably use a different chassis tho

  6. Sounds like the perfect board for me, on my to buy list.

  7. The zotac board seems a better deal than this one as the overclocking options are better.

  8. If they allow for overclocking but give no way to rescue it, what is the point of that? if it locks out how do you get back to normal.

  9. Are you sure the board cant overclock? what is the point of giving bios options if they dont allow voltage increases or ways to get it back to default speeds? isnt that a recipe for a disaster?
