Benchmark Testing
Synthetic Benchmark Testing
SiSoft Sandra 2015 SP2b
The Sandra benchmarks remain a fast and easy way to determine system quality from a CPU and memory subsystem perspective. The Rampage V Edition 10 performs on par with the other Intel X99 systems, indicating proper CPU and memory subsystem operation.
Intel Linpack Benchmark v11.3.0.004
The current version of the Intel Linpack benchmark comes with a batch file to run from the command-line interface for running the Linpack tests. It serves as a good indicator of proper system CPU functioning and is considered one of the most intensive CPU benchmarks currently available. This test was repeated three times with the highest repeatable GFlops (Giga-Floating Point Operations Per Second) score recorded.
This CPU torture test is a proven method for identifying possible issues with the CPU to motherboard interface layer. No surprises with the Rampage V Edition 10's performance when compared against the other Intel X99 motherboards, indicating an optimally working motherboard.
Multimedia and System Benchmark Testing
Maxon Cinebench R15
Maxon’s Cinebench R15 benchmark can be used determine a system's ability to render 3D content based on their Cinema 4D animation software. The CPU benchmark test was run three times, with the highest reproducible Cinebench points score recorded.
The Rampage V Edition 10 motherboard performed well in this multimedia benchmark, performing in line with the other Intel X99 boards.
FutureMark PCMark 8
FutureMark Corporation’s PCMark 8 can be used to reliably ascertain a system’s performance in a Windows 10-based use environment. The benchmark tests chosen for benchmarking included the Home test, Creative test, Work test, and Applications test in conjunction with Adobe Creative Suite 6.0). All test suites within the PCMark 8 benchmark were run three times, with the highest reproducible PCMark scores recorded.
The Rampage V Edition 10 earned itself a top spot among the Intel X99 systems, matching or exceeding performance across all the benchmarks.

The NH-D15 really looks like it’s touching the GPU in the first PCIe slot in the cooler fit test. Is it just too close for the gap to show in the photo?
Detailed and thorough review. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to justify a ~$600 motherboard.
Thanks for the heads up on
Thanks for the heads up on page 2, fixed.
As for the cooler to GPU proximity, its a trick of the shadows. There is a bit of a gap in between it and the card back. However, in that type of config, you'd be a fool not to run with a backplate on your video card…

Would you say this review
Would you say this review suited Pro rampage V ED10 vs other x99 2011 boards, vs z170 boards or it stands on its own. Asking because the charts seem to say this board is very much in line with the performance of other good to better x99 boards. What features make this board a gold award winner? thx.
