Asus P5E3 Premium X48 DDR3 Motherboard
3D/Rendering Results
Published: 8th March 2008 | Source: Asus | Price: £TBA |
Cinebench 10 is a benchmarking tool based on the powerful 3D software Cinema 4D. The suite uses complex renders to guage the performance of the entire PC system in both single-core and multi-core modes. Testing was performed a total of 5 times with the highest and lowest results being omitted and an average created from the remaining 3 results.
3DMark is a popular synthetic gaming benchmark used by many gamers and overclockers to gauge the performance of their PC's. All 3DMark runs were performed a total of 5 times with the highest and lowest results being removed and an average calculated from the remaining 3 results.
Result Observations
The extra bandwidth of DDR3 memory used on the Maximus Extreme and P5E3 Premium boards doesn't seem to carry much weight when it comes to Cinebench and 3DMark, with many of the DDR2 boards producing identical or better results. Similarly, there is no noticeable difference between the X38 and X48 chipsets.

Wow nice overclocking, i read somewhere that x48 is just a die shrink of x38, is that true?

yeah, thats pretty good as my x38 gets real toasty, i guess thats what aids overclocking the fact it runs cooler, as 680i boards were awful with stock but under water really rocked most of the time..
Nice review btw
i look forward to a proper read later

Apparently the 790i is a lot cooler than the 680/708i (according to the marketing dudes), but I'll be able to say for sure in a week or so
Are OC3D getting one in? theyve been on show on cebit, which i spotted one in a hexus article, it looks like a heatsink about the same size as that on 780i, but hopefully your right and it is a lot cooler.
