SiSoft Sandra Professional
SiSoft Sandra is a great benchmarking suite and one I have used for many years now. We are using the two popular CPU intensive tests, Dhrystone and Whetstone and the result being the number of executions of the suite, per second. These run entirely within the CPU and cache memory and its a good synthetic test to analyse general core efficiency.
The Whetstone benchmark bears particular significance, it was originally written in 1972 and originally measured computing power in units of Kilo-Whetstone instructions per second (kWIPS). This was later changed to Whetstone Instructions per Second (mWIPS). This primarily focuses on floating point arithmetic performance. As we can see, the results are absolutely stunning and the 980X is looking to be a fantastic pairing for the Asus Rampage III Extreme board.
As U2 once said… de-si-i-i-i-i-i-rre !
DEAR GOD, is that for real? look at the price, but I still WANT ONE !
DEAR god is that for real? the price is insane but I STILL WANT ONE!
actually, I think id need a new case as it wouldnt take it
Nah it would fit ok, its just a bit bigger than ATX, like 2cm max, should fit ok, just might be tight on the hard drives
ASUS sure as shit know how to make motherboards, no argument there
The price puts me off, but im sick getting crap motherboards and them failing in a few months, maybe if you buy this it would last forever.
The reviews on this site KICK ASS, cant believe this is just up!
Wicked review guys, love the product, been saving up for it for months now, almost there !
I want one, too much money asus !
on Ln2 our team got a 980X to 6.2ghz ! with this very board, love it ±
6.2ghz you are kidding me, any links?
No links but we are talking about it over on xtremesystems. The CPU might be dead though but it was worth it.
love the review, its on my to buy list, didnt know this was out yet. thanks.
Yeah its been out a while but this has made me want to buy it now, I just will get killed by my wife if I fork out the money. maybe I can hide it on the credit card?
Hey Zardon if you are bored with the mobo, fire it over, ill give you £200 for it !
Wow, very pretty board, thanks for the review, really good read, out of stock here. so people are buying them (unless they only made 5)
Yeah its dead for sure. 6.2ghz on the CPU though and the motherboard is still going. time to get another one !
Hey Darth what voltage did you use on the CPU before it popped?
was actually nearer 1.9, we just confirmed. it held up well, and give us insane bench results in superpi, a few seconds.
1.9 volts, fuck me ! im not letting you near my hardware :p
Asus Rampage III Extreme!!!
I like it, I love it, I order it.
up to 24 gb of ram at 1333mhz !
and it takes i7 extreme
just if i had the money
