Crystalmark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using V3.0 x64.

The Asus P8Z68-V Pro Gen 3 motherboard delivers great performance with the Patriot Wildfire drive especially in the 4k test.

The ATTO Disk Benchmark performance measurement tool is compatible with Microsoft Windows. Measure your storage systems performance with various transfer sizes and test lengths for reads and writes. Several options are available to customize your performance measurement including queue depth, overlapped I/O and even a comparison mode with the option to run continuously. Use ATTO Disk Benchmark to test any manufacturers RAID controllers, storage controllers, host adapters, hard drives and SSD drives and notice that ATTO products will consistently provide the highest level of performance to your storage.

Great results, achieving around 560MB/s in the read test and 520 MB/s in the write test.

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.

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.

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