Testing Methodology and System Setup
I will mainly be focused on comparing this board to one other board based on the X48 chipset. The ASUS Rampage Formula will be compared performance wise with the ASRock X48TurboTwins-WiFi, both are X48 based products. By doing so, we will insure that the Rampage Formula is up to par performance wise, with another DDR2 X48 product on the market.
A Intel Q9550 CPU was selected as the test CPU, because its based off of Intel’s latest 45nm process, and a Quad core tends to stress the power regulation of the board more than a dual core equivalent. Its also a good check for overall compatibility with Intel’s current Quad core lineup..
Over the next several pages, we will run this board through its paces, in some synthetic and real world benchmarks.
this is very bad motherboad
