Sandra Processor Arithmetic
Sandra Memory Bandwidth
The X99S MPower takes a commanding victory in the 3DMark physics test. Performance is slightly behind the competitors in Sandra's CPU arithmetic test, although the memory bandwidth results paint a positive performance picture.
So there’s a new bios out soon that handles high speed ram better then eh? Interesting as I’m running this mobo with 16GB of 3GHz Hyper X Predator ram and currently stuck running it @ 2666 so would be nice if theres a new bios out soon which’ll help take it to full speed…
As for those worried with tight dual GPU placement, I’m running SLI and have the cards in slots 1 & 3 instead with 2 empty, lots of room for cooling that way and works absolutely fine!
