Benchmarks

In this test, we checked out the difference between the two boards, the Gigabyte P35T-DQ6  versus ASRock Penryn1600SLI-110dB. Both are attached wiht a Vvikoo 9600GT Turbo graphics card factory clocked at 700/1000. CPU used is a QX9770 running at 8x400.

Using CPU-Z, we checked the CPU Clk, the ASRock runs at 400.2 while the Gigabyte P35 board runs at 400.0. Although the P35 board is using DDR3-1066, the memory is actually running at a ratio of 3:4, giving it a base clk of 533MHz (DDR2-1066), running in ASync to the CPU at 400MHz. On the ASRock Penryn1600SLI-110dB, the memory is running in SYNC with the CPU at 400MHz (DDR2-800). The ram timings used on the ASRock was CAS 5,5,5,15-2T while the Gigabyte P35T-DQ6 is CAS 7,7,7,20-2T.

From the chart above, we can see that the both board loses some and win some. Will this impact the performance of the system in real world benchmarks ? Let's read on.
