Cinebench
We used the ‘CPU’ test built into Cinebench R15 .
7-Zip
We manually archive a 1.23GB MP4 game recording to test the performance in 7-Zip.
Handbrake Conversion
We measured the average frame rate achieved for a task of converting a 1.23GB 1080P game recording using the High Profile setting and MP4 container.
Performance in CPU-intensive operations is without concern. Gigabyte's board offers roughly the same level of performance as other functional Z170 boards when testing errors are discounted.
Bought it and am loving it. The one complaint I have is that the mouse lags like hell in UEFI. I haven’t tried a different mouse with it yet though (currently using Cougar 550M). The SB audio is superb.
how the settings for memory on the mainboard? is it stable with xmp auto settings?
