Gigabyte X99M-Gaming 5 mATX Motherboard Review

Cinebench

We used the ‘CPU’ test built into Cinebench R15 .

WinRAR

WinRAR’s built in benchmark and hardware test can help us outline the performance differentials between each motherboard. We record the amount of data processed after a 30-second run.

Handbrake Conversion

We measured the average frame rate achieved for a task of converting a 4.36GB 720P H.264 movie (in the MKV container) to one in the MP4 container.

The CPU-heavy workloads continue to show that Gigabyte's mATX motherboard has no problem competing with the larger alternatives.

A few points dropped in Cinebench are likely to be representative of the benchmark's statistical margin of error.

    I have been having that odd GPU load crashing issue, and I was beginning to think that I was going crazy. System is totally stable otherwise, Aida64 for 10+ hours with no issues, browse the web, watch movies, etc no problems. Game for more than a couple of minutes and crash, every time.

    At first I thought it was my XFX R9 270X, so I grabbed my other one (I pulled these out of a crossfire setup on my other system) and same issues occurred. I was just starting think about returning motherboard when I came across this post. I am going to try this fix when I get home and see if it resolves the issue for me.
