Super Pi is used by a huge audience, particularly to check stability when overclocking processors. If a system is able to calculate PI to the 2 millionth pace after the decimal without mistake, it is considered to be stable in regards to RAM and CPU.
Here we can see how the single threaded performance of the system benefits from overclocking.
that gigabyte board is hard to beat on price. they can’t be making more than £10 from each sale.
Great looking board for the price, but I still cant believe the gigabyte price point.
Not bad, but id like two 16x slots for futureproofing.
I have bought two of these boards this week, as part of bundles from my local component shop in Coventry, and I have to say they are very solid. yeah I get what your saying about the lack of 2 x 16 Crossfire, but as I will never use it, the board is solid. Currently running mine with a 3570k and an NH-D14 at 4.5Ghz. Easy to set up as long as the 1st thing you do is update the Bios.
