Performance - Storage SSD SATA (6G) and USB 3.0
With the new SATA3 6G controller and USB 3.0 controllers we started adding SSD performance numbers measured on such interfaces (when applicable). Putting these in nicely styled charts would be better, but with technology so new we just do not have anything out there yet to compare to, so here are some raw peak performance numbers. We use an A-DATA N002 Solid State Drive which has both a both SATA2 and USB 3.0 port.
Above, you can see a N002 series A-DATA Solid State Drive running over the USB 3.0 controller on this motherboard. The implementation works well.
Above, some numbers based on the SATA3 6G controller of this motherboard, there surely is nothing to be ashamed about with that performance. We measure in AHCI mode. Again, this is SATA2 peak performance, not average. Excellent numbers here.
We recently got asked if we could show SATA3 AHCI performance with a SATA3 SSD as well. We can certainly do that, however after each run the SSD results might differ a little as NAND cells are written, so the performance you see below is an indication of SATA3 SSD performance.
Above, a SandForce 2281 based SSD connected to the SATA3 (6G) controller. AHCI mode is enabled in the BIOS, especially with SSDs that helps a little on peak performance.
And here are the results over the ASMedia 1061 SATA3 6G controller. As you can see, the Intel controllers still rock, and that's why we dislike the fact that Intel only included 2 SATA 6G ports on such a high-end platform as the X79 really is.
Core i7 3770K review with Z77
We review the Core i7 3770K Ivy bridge processors alongside Intel's Z77 motherboard. Will Ivy Bridge be the processor series everything you expected? Go find out in this extensive review here at Guru3D.
Core i7 3820 processor review
We review the Core i7 3820 processor. The chip features four computing cores with Hyper-Threading support working at 3.6GHz (3.9GHz max Turbo), 10MB of Level 3 cache memory, a quad-channel memory controller, and a built-in 40-lane PCI Express 3.0 controller.
Core i7 3960X processor and MSI X79A-GD65 review
Today an article covering the Intel Core i7-3960X (Sandy Bridge-E) and X79 based motherboards. An update to the true high-end six-core processor series aimed at consumers. we test with a final sample X79 motherboard from MSI. This article will also review the MSI X79A-GD65 8D. Next to that the fellas from G.Skill provided a Sandy-Bridge-E quad channel memory kit that blew us of our feet, 16GB G.Skill RipjawsZ series memory that with the flick of a BIOS setting to XMP runs stable at 2133 MHz in quad channel.
Core i5 2500K and Core i7 2600K review
Today we test and review Sandy Bridge, the Intel Core i7-2600K and Intel Core i5-2500K processors. We will pair the 2600K processor with the Intel Desktop Motherboard DP67BG and also run a test with the Intel Core i5-2500K processor on a Intel DH67BL motherboard
