Testing – Gaming & Video
Gaming performance really depends on what graphics card you will be using. Because graphics drivers and games are updated so often we will mostly be running synthetic benchmarks here. To start we have 3DMark’s Fire Strike and Fire Strike Extreme benchmarks.
Next we run the older 3DMark 11 Extreme benchmark.
Our last test is Unigine’s Heaven benchmark, which is an extremely popular tool for measuring GPU performance. The settings we used are: DirectX 11, Quality: High, Tessellation: Normal, Anti-Aliasing: None, and full screen at 1920 x 1080.
seems that its missing some key features , the cmos clear the power and reset and the led error indicators. This boards feel s like they went one step forward and 2 steps back. Would like to see this compared to the evga x99 FTW K

Hey can anyone tell me if when connecting aftermarket LED strips, and you set pulse or breathing effect, does the LED strip also do the pulse or breathing effect?
Thanks
Hi there.
Thank you guys for the great full review.
Just a quick one which i think is important the 3 way CPU power extender you said the board was
a good overclocker. Did you use the 3 way power extender in the review ?
If so which connectors on it did you use ?
sorry to be the difficult one.
