Handbrake is a fantastic free program which we wanted to include to confirm findings with Media Espresso, earlier in the review. HandBrake is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows.
We used the latest V 0.9.5 for testing today across all platforms. We encoded an DVD.MPG file.
Strong performance, taking just over 5 minutes to complete the task, only 5 seconds slower than the reference clocked 990X EE system.
They do make a good mobo. ive always bought ASUS
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.
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.
