Gigabyte's Full AM3+ Line Up Now Online

[dinos22]

pccriminal, do you have any data what the CPU is capable with other boards in terms of NB speeds? Have you checked the NB VID with DMM to see what the real value is? Those HDD speeds, do they look off still? They seem ok but i cant recall now what my SSD raid performance was like to be honest with Intel.


best to compare apples with apples Oli otherwise you have to fill in the gaps. I dont see a Gigabyte 990X board there and do see a bunch of Z68 boards.

setting same HDD modes and setting turbo functions on for USB3 on all boards and then test every single setting. It should be all very similar imo. It's impossible to know if the reviewer used native IDE mode or switched to AHCI with that Z68 board. I recently picked up on some HDD performance slowness with one of local magazine's software apps testing the systems because they used IDE mode instead of AHCI on GBT boards as it defaults to it while Asus had AHCI default, not sure if this would be related.
