Asus mATX ROG Rampage II Gene X58 Motherboard
CPU Benchmarks
Published: 6th March 2009 | Source: Asus | Price: £199.99 |
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.
SuperPI is the benchmark of choice for many overclockers. It's lightweight to download and can give a quick indication on how good a system is at number crunching. Once again, testing was performed a total of 5 times, with an average being calculated from the middle three results.
PassMark is a popular benchmarking suite which test all aspect of PC hardware.The CPU test examines Mathematical operations, compression, encryption, SSE, 3DNow! instructions and more. Each CPU test was performed a total of 5 times, with an average being calculated from the middle three results.
Results Analysis
The Gene certainly does not disgrace itself when pitched up against the full size motherboards from the other manufacturers, indeed beating the lesser ones in out CPU tests albeit not by any significant margin.
Let's see if there is anything to separate the board with our run of memory benchmarks...

I don't know about anyone else but I live in a studio (1-room) apt and have a very limited amount of space. The m-ATX is a great size for me because it just fits on a small part of my table and occupies very little space. My case has a 500 watt PSU and 3 fans, a DVD/RW, 2 hard drives, a CPU fan, an ASUS EN9600TOP GPU, 4GB ram and a XEON E3110 (C2D E8400) CPU. The temp gets all the way up to 39 degrees Centigrade. Seems to me that I would be a fool to throw out this case with all it offers when I can get a Mobo like this one with the associated equipment and probably still keep it efficient, cool and able to perform well. I did some figuring last night using Newegg (I am in the US) and I could get the RAM, CPU and Mobo for around $500 if I want to keep my current PSU or about $650 if I want to replace my 500 watt PSU with an 850 watt PSU and I would end up with a system that fits my life style and space with no problems. Why would I do otherwise?
Why indeed;)
Will Corsair Dominator/Patriot Viper DDR3 fit on this board with a TRUE120 fited?
Depends on the orientation m8. It should fit ok, even with both fans but I cannot 100% guarentee it as I didn't have a TRUE during testing. Hopefully Thermalright will send us one as it seems to be the case that if a TRUE fits then so will most coolers.
can u plzz give the best set of hardware for this motherboard Asus mATX ROG Rampage II Gene X58 Motherboard

Here is what i'm getting.
Gene II
Dominator 3x2GB 1866MHz + Fan
P180 Mini
Here is what I have (had)
i7 920 C0
TRUE 120
RaptorX 150GB 10k RPM
GTX 295
1000HX 1000W
Liteon DVDRW
For me this is the best setup, except GFX. I, maybe will buy new Fermis, but it depends, just waiting benchs.
Anyways, this is good setup, I worked hard for this.
If you can buy, you can change GFX to 5870 and HDD to SSD (some Vertex would be nice). For me it's enough

Hi everyone:
I'm new to the Overclock world. I recently update my Gateway 6800-01e PC with this Mobo and a XFX 9800 GTX+. Yesterday I try to start messing around in the BIOS trying to change my Base clock to 180 at least, but it's still locked. I read somewhere that to achieve it, the AI has to be placed to manual. If someone have a guide to manually overclock this mobo, please let me know.
Thanks,
Feferefe

* ATX
* ATX12V
* ATX12V 2.0
* ATX12V 2.01
* ATX12V 2.03
* ATX12V 2.2

I'm so confused!

Whats your budget dude, if you are buying a new psu and buy a decent brand you will be fine. Recomendations would be a 'Be-Quiet' of a Corsair PSU.

the power of a full sized rig
in a beasty little case
