Benchmarks

CPU FSB is still a valid and important criteria when judging systems performance. We measured the CPU FSB and documented it as below in 4 different boards and noticed the CPU CLK. As it is a Conroe X6800, the default FSB is rated at 266MHz. As shown below, the three boards has set its default clk quite differently. The ASRock Conroe1333-DVI/H runs at 267.9 while the Jetway 965GDAG runs at 266.5, Gigabyte GA-945G-S3 at 268 and ASRock ConRoe945G-DVI at 265.8. The ASRock 1333-D667 is similar to the Conroe945G-DVI and runs at a default of 265.8MHz.

In the following tests, other than the Jetway 965GDAG which is a G965 chipset mainboard running at DDR2-800, the 4 other boards are configured to run at CAS 3, 3-3-8, 1T SYNC DDR2-533 using a X6800 processor.

The three boards are based on different chipsets. Although Intel has specified i975x and i965p official supports the Core2 Duo processor, the older chipsets like the 945P/G and VIA PT880Pro are used on the ASRock boards. Below are the benchmarks done on the Sandra XI memory benchmark.

We chose to run it at DDR2-533 is because the memory is running at 1:1 ratio, that is to say in SYNC with the CPU. Although one might get a slightly higher score in this benchmark if you choose to run in ASync mode say DDR2-667, there isn't much difference in the performance, in fact, it might get a bit slower in some benchmarks.

The performance of this board in this test is quite similar to that of the ConRoe1333-DVI/H. Will it give you better results as it uses a newer stepping of the chipset. Let's read on.
