I have been testing one of Nickshih creations non stop for the last 48 hours on cascade, Baby Asrock Z87M OC Formula , a Micro ATX that carries a punch like Mike Tyson. This Little brother of the Full ATX Asrock Z87 OC Formula is fast , and when I mean fast , is fast in 2D and but also in 3D very fast and efficient.
For the longest time I have been playing 3DMark01 , lately I had my eyes on a Gold Cup at hwbot that I want it for a long long time but I could not reach the score needed , earlier in the night after 6 hours tweaking and tweaking and testing different settings it was Done ! Yes I reach my goal that I wanted #1 3DMark01 with the old school 3870x2 , the board had it in it , the efficiency and speed of this board is amazing , so stable even after benching 9+ hours non stop at -110c on cascade , I just could not lay off my hands of it.
Set up:
ASRock Z87M OC Formula ( Micro ATX )
Haswell i5 4670K
Sapphire 3870x2 on cold water
Team extreme 2400 Cas 9 2x4GB
OCZ Agility 3 SSD
Coolermaster 1500w.
My BLUE Cascade at -115 idle ~ -110c full load
Score: 136,278 #1 3870x2 Gold Cup at hwbot.
That's not all , this baby brother of the Z87 OC Formula is also darn fast in 2D.
Last night the board gave me 1st place 32m on 4670k cpu category Gold Cup, Second place 1m Silver Cup and third place pifast Golden Cup, and I just received this board yesterday , so im still learning the board , there is so much more in it I just need the time to learn this new platform and squeezed every single Mhz out of this cpu , the board is capable of maxing out any cpu . Im sure enjoying it , it is a pleasure to bench on this Mini Beast
