ASRock 4Core1333-eSATA2 R5.0 Motherboard Review

Aquamark 3


The first time we ran this benchmark the numbers were in the 10-20k range, but upon the second run through then they were in the 2k range. Needless to say this benchmark was quickly uninstalled and then reinstalled. Upon which it was run multiple times, each time giving very similar results. This test was not written for multiple core cpus and it is our belief that this was the cause of such huge variation during the first installation. Overall, these numbers are good, but due to their variable nature the results have only been included for “information only” and should not be used to judge the viability of the chipset and ASrock motherboard itself


SuperPi

Super PI calculates pi up to 33 and half million digits. This calculation is extremely resource intensive and the quicker the completion the more efficient the system is.


Twenty one seconds and even near twenty second results are good, and does a really fine job of showing the p31 in the best light possible.


Once again these numbers are very good. This just goes to show that the 1m time results were not an aberration; rather they are what a decent entry level board should be able to do.
