Gigabyte EX58-UD5 X58 Motherboard
Memory Benchmarks
Published: 5th January 2009 | Source: Gigabyte | Price: £218.49 |
SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information & diagnostic utility capable of benchmarking the performance of individual components inside a PC. Each of the benchmarks below were run a total of five times with the highest and lowest scores being discarded and an average being calculated from the remaining three.
Everest is in many ways similar to Sisoft Sandra. Focusing mainly on software and hardware information reporting, Everest also comes with a benchmark utility suitable for testing the read, write and latency performance of the memory subsystem. Each of these benchmarks were performed a total of 5 times with the highest and lowest scores being discarded and an average calculated from the remaining three.
Results Analysis
Sisoft Sandra and Everest gave conflicting results here with the Gigabyte EX58-UD5 scoring lowest on Sandra, yet highest on Everest. The EX58-UD5 did however, show superior Latency in both benchmarks which may reflect on other benchmarks we run today.
Let's see how the boards perform in our Hard Drive benchmarks...

We got performance figures of these vS 775 setups ? I can'`t remember.
Either way, £218 is still taking the pish imo. These are the emerging mobos that will see revisions l8r in the year, and to charge over even £200 for them is beyond.
They figuring they can price match Foxconn or summit ?
Tis a shame, cos it does appear a great mobo from the review, but I have to be honest, being as i7 doesn`t do leaps and bounds over a 775, I for one aint gonna pay over the odds to get them.Quote

Nice review webbo. I'm really liking the look of this board and the price/colour scheme may now see me acquire one in the future.Quote
Rasta, I totally agree with you and I refuse to pay that kind of money for a motherboard. Anyhoo, don't know how many of you know but there are some P55 motherboards coming out some time this year which hopefully will be around normal prices. I expect they will be similar like the P35 and the X38 for pricing strategies?Quote

Personally the only bug I've found is the CPU multiplier in the F3 bios: I couldn't lower the CPU multiplier.
