Asus P8Z68-V Pro Gen 3 Motherboard Review

CINEBENCH R11.5 64 Bit is a real-world cross platform test suite that evaluates your computer’s performance capabilities. CINEBENCH is based on MAXON’s award-winning animation software CINEMA 4D, which is used extensively by studios and production houses worldwide for 3D content creation. MAXON software has been used in blockbuster movies such as Spider-Man, Star Wars, The Chronicles of Narnia and many more.

CINEBENCH is the perfect tool to compare CPU and graphics performance across various systems and platforms (Windows and Mac OS X). And best of all: It’s completely free.

When the 2600k is overclocked to 4.4ghz it delivers a healthy final score of just over 8.5 points. The reference 2600k scores 6.91 points, so we can see it is well worth toggling a single ‘OC tuner' setting!

  1. They do make a good mobo. ive always bought ASUS

  2. I went with MSI last time, cant say its been a bad buy, but i wish id gotten one of the new UEFI products. maybe end of year ill upgrade.

  3. Well im maybe the only person who thinks this, but they make far too many boards in any given range. I dont know why they just dont stick to 3 boards in every platform.

    standard
    luxury
    extreme

    Look at the Z68 range right now, must be 30 boards available. very confusing.

  4. As an owned of this mobo i can vouch for its brilliant performance and bios. I have no experience in overclocking but using the auto tuning feature paired with a 2500k i have achieved 4.630gz though i am using the Corsair Hydro H60 cooler. The temperatures while gaming are amazingly low. The weird thing is that the mobo reaches about 28 degrees Celsius and the cpu around 26.

    As this is the first rig i have ever built i’m glad i didnt opt for any other mobo within that price range.

  5. Just built a new computer with this motherboard. So far no problems. Works great. The Intel SRT technology is great.
