Handbrake Conversion

Handbrake is a free and open-source video transcoding tool that can be used to convert video files between different codecs, formats and resolutions. We measured the average frame rate achieved for a task of converting a 6.27GB 4K video using the Normal Profile setting and MP4 container. The test stresses all CPU cores to 100% and shows an affinity for memory bandwidth.

CPU performance from the STRIX Z270F Gaming is good. ASRock's competing option is a little faster and Gigabyte's is a little slower. Expect these margins to tighten as further stable BIOS releases are made available now that the chipset has been released to retail customers.

  1. Look through following report to discover how a single parent was able to make $89,844/year in her extra time on her laptop or computer without selling anything>>>INTERNET84.WEEBLY.COM

  2. “Minimal onboard RGB LED lighting.”
    Actually this is a good thing to most people out there that care about a strong and stable board and do not care about pretty little lights..Thank you for another great review another job well done.

  3. It’s a negative to people who want RGB lighting. A lot or a little RGB lighting doesn’t really change the quality of the motherboard and its stability (something would have to go very wrong in the design and manufacturing process for that to happen).

    Most modern boards with RGB lighting have an option to turn off the LEDs if a user desires. Granted that may seem wasteful but it gives a pair of options – good RGB lighting for users who want that and no lighting for users who prefer that. If somebody doesn’t want RGB lighting then the minimal onboard lighting of the Z270F Gaming won’t concern them.
