MSI X58 Platinum Motherboard
Hard Disk Benchmarks
Published: 22nd December 2008 | Source: MSI | Price: £229.99 |
HDTach is a free hard disk benchmarking program from SimpliSoftware. This benchmark is not only capable of producing results on hard disk access times but also CPU usage required during disk access. The "Long bench" was run a total of 5 times with the highest and lowest results being omitted and an average calculated from the remaining 3 results.
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.
Results Analysis
Once again there was very little difference between the motherboards performance, however the Asus did appear to have ever so slightly better read speeds overall. This is not really surprising as both motherboards use the ICH10R controller.
Let's see how the perform with our multimedia benchmark suite...

Great review. Think they're still crazy priced tho.
Hopefully they see some sense l8r in the 09.
Don't have much exerience with MSI mobos, but I am surprized there's no SLI.Quote

Quality review as always Rich. Bit miffed at lack of SLI seeing as it's such a massive selling point. Puts it at an instant disadvantage. Ah well.Quote
Couple of features I picked up on which I thought were great; the first being the right angled sata plugs.. Such a simple thing! But would make tidy cabling easy - it's just impossible to make the sata cableslook neat if they are sicking up out of the mobo.The other was the bios save feature, thats pretty cool! And a great feature, being able to swop from "warp speed overclock" to "mr easy going day to day" at the press of a button.. 10/10 for that one.
£240 though? Too much I think.. Needs to come with the kitchen sink at that price, and it doesnt.
A fine review.Quote

 1.44V for 3.85gHz Now I'm even more proud of my UD5 doing [email protected] Did you adjust the VTT voltage too? It's just as important as vCore. |
