Sapphire Pure Black P67 Hydra Motherboard (PB-CI7S42P67) Review

Cyberlink PowerDVD 10 is one of the finest solutions for the Blu-Ray experience on Windows and we found this software to work perfectly with this chipset. We tested with the Bluray Disc of Avatar, one of our favourite sci-fi films in recent years.

Average CPU load is around 11 percent, meaning that the 2600k has plenty of cycles free for other tasks.

We recorded CPU demand over a specific period of time to give a ‘real world' rolling scale of activity. The Core i7 2600k is hardly being troubled by HD playback, which is exactly what we want to see. The P67 board gives no indication of any heightened CPU states throughout our testing, falling in line with previous tests.
