We measured the power consumption of our entire test system at the wall while loading the CPU using Prime95 and GPU using FurMark. We recorded results with the system at reference clock speeds and when overclocked to 4.6 GHz.
These figures are impressive, especially when compared to equivalent Sandy Bridge based systems.

Due to delays and internal reboots, Marathon ended up being in development for much longer than initially planned. With a six year timeline, the cost of producing the game rose exponentially for Bungie, with estimates putting the final number in the $250M to $300M range. Despite positive reviews from those that have given the game a chance, Marathon has reportedly only shifted an estimated 1.2M copies so far, with the vast majority of that coming from the PC market.

Ideal for a new build in the prodigy case.
Good product, I like their video cards more than their motherboards lately 🙂
I was quite interested in the on-board audio – they advertise the THX TruStudio, but it’s stil just a RealTek chip. I was planning on a Home-Theater/mini gaming rig, but the power seems to be very limited on ITX boards, which could be a problem if I want to upgrade.
Very in-depth review but would have been a lot more informative if the benchmarks were also directly compared against other mitx’s of the same chipset.
