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 MKV movie to 720P MP4 format.
Cinebench shows a benefit of 21 points with the MSI board's 60MHz CPU speed increase. WinRAR also shows a slight improvement with the faster CPU frequency used by MSI's board.
Handbrake, on the other hand, prefers Asus' X99 Deluxe and its 3GHz memory over MSI's X99S Gaming 7 and its slightly faster CPU. With that said, the difference between each board is a little over 1%.
I think the best combination to satisfy all my needs specially getting out the juices of M.2 there is two option.
Option 1 (40 lanes) with Intel Core i7-5930K or Intel Core i7-5960X Extreme Edition:
2 way SLI (E1_3.0x16+E3_3.0x16) + 1 M.2 (3.0×4) and 1 SSD on SATA Express (2.0×2)
or
Option 2 (28 Lanes) with Intel Core i7-5820K:
3 way SLI (E1_3.0x8+E3_3.0x8+E5_3.0x8) + 1 M.2 (3.0×4) and 1 SSD on SATA Express (2.0×2)
^_^ Great review Luke.
Hi there. I saw you review to late.
I have the same issue, can’t make the RAM to run on 3000MHZ with a 5820k.
Have you found any solution? Already contacted manufacturers(Kingston/MSI/Intel)…still no luck, so maybe you can help.
Thanks, and nice review btw.
