Results Analysis
 
Sisoft Sandra and SuperPI showed little difference between all of the motherboards. Passmark however, showed a deficiency that I simply could not explain. The odd result was echoed in the 5 times I ran it which was even more baffling, hopefully this is just a blip on the DFI’s radar which can be rectified in the following tests…
