Super Pi is software that was designed for overclocking performance testing, it allows to test floating decimal point and mathematics performances of a processor. The test consists in calculating the part PI value with the CPU, the number being infinite.
We can select several lengths of calculations, from 16 KB to 32 MB.
We don’t normally include this software in processor reviews, but we have had a lot of requests from our audience to cover it. We are using the modified 1.5 version and are running an 8M calculation.
A final time of 1 minutes and 52 seconds is impressive for stock clock speeds. Next we will show the result from our maximum overclocked state at 5.1ghz.
Both 1M and 8M calculations. 7.3 seconds and 1 min 26 seconds is an incredible result.
Looks the part, thats for sure. nice specs. They are never a company I consider when im looking at a motherboard however.
great looking product, no doubt about it.
Layout looks good, i wouldnt be so sure about jumping from Asus mind you yet, early days for them in this sector/
I wouldn’t mind one of these for my new system next month, but im waiting on an MSI big bang board whenever that is scheduled. anyone know?
Interesting to see ASROCk trying to break their older reputation for releasing poorly configured but cheap products. they seem to be doing well this year so far.
Excellent all round specifications and build quality. pricing isnt too bad either, although for 60 more you can get into the X58 sector.
I love red and black, wicked. Just hate to see that guys face everywhere, very annoying!
Previously I was only looking at Gigabyte and Asus (in that order) but lately I start to notice MSI and now ASRock… interesting…
There is almost no reason to get this board when the ASRock Extreme 4 is basically the exact same board without the silly fatality mouse port and red colors while being $40 cheaper.
And you don’t have to stare at the guy’s face while in UEFI :p
Oops, meant the extreme6, not extreme4
I just ordered one – hope its clocks my 2600k well
