Processor Benchmarks
Our standard two tests using SiSoft Sandra are the Processor Arithmetic and Processor Multi-Media benchmarks. As we'd expect with such a closely matched set of components the differences are slight at best.
Once again our overclock really frees up the 1090T processor as we get results either on or just above what pure maths would suggest our overclock would give. The Gigabyte 890FX-A UD7 definitely responds well and allows our components to breathe.

If I can borrow a quote from Lewis Carroll, curiouser and curiouser. Whereas Everest showed the UD7 falling well short of the Crosshair 4 Extreme and 870A Fuzion, here it pips them both. The importance of looking at all the results before drawing conclusions is demonstrated clearly here as both Everest and Sandra give different results, yet our other tests show no great loss or benefit either way.

All three are very good boards, with slight variances depending upon personal taste.
