Specifikationer
 

Maximus III Formula er en del af Republic of Gamers serien, og har fået samme ROG Connect interface med som vi så på Rampage III Extreme boardet. Du kan altså koble en anden PC til systemet vha. ROG Connect kablet, og bruge det medfølgende program til at monitere og overclocke fra den eksterne maskine. Lidt sjovt at sidde og spille Battlefield 2 og se ydelsesforbedringerne i realtid.

Hele 10 SATA porte er det blevet til internt, 6 via Chipsættet og 2x2 via JMicron controlleren. Hertil kan tilføjes endnu en JMicron controller som fører en eSATA ud bag på IO Panelet.

En anden god ting er lydsiden som består af RealTek ALC885 7.1 HD chip og Creatives X-Fi software, der bare giver lækker lyd.

yderst fin test

men! når det nu er sådan et dyrt bundkort, og det egentlig er beregnet til oc/entusiast, hvorfor er der så ikke gjort mere ud af at oc det?

for 3800mhz lyder sku lettere slattent i mine ører 🙂

#1 Ja det skal jeg gerne uddybe. Jeg kan sige det sådan her, mit eget system består af en gammel Core2 E6300 og har overclocket på samme måde som man nu gjorde på de gamle systemer.

Jeg har siden hen erfaret at der er mange flere indstillinger og jeg havde kig på dem alle, men forstod under testen ikke hele sammenhængen.

Polarfar har været mig behjælpelig, så i fremtidige test vil min nyfunde viden blive udnyttet.

Men ja den skulle jo gerne kunne løbe 220-230 på BCLK uden problemer. Igen her var jeg ikke helt bekendt med hvor effektive de CPUer kan overclockes, for jow jeg har læst mange tests, men det er nu noget andet at sidde med det selv 😉

super fin test.... har ventet længe på at i tested det herinde

jeg har det selv og har været glad for det lige siden dag 1

det kan alt hvad man kan drømme om og det gør lige præcis hvad man ber det om og det har til dags dato endnu ikke lavet en eneste fejl.

jeg har også prøvet at lade det auto OC mit system og det laved et 3,8 Ghz OC uden problemer og det klared fint en prime 95 full load test uden fejl

så til alle folk der gerne vil ha et super p55 mobo der kan alt hvad en OCèr har brug og mere til og ikke lige har råd til extrem udgaven så er det KLART det her board du skal ha

skal du ha et gigabyte board der er lige så godt og kan det samme, så skal du op i et Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD7 og så kan du lige så godt købe et ASUS Maximus III Extreme som koster det samme og som er bedre end ud7

#2 det var sku et svar der ville noget :yes:

så kan jeg sku bedre forstå det, ved selv hvor STOR en omvæltning det var fra 775 til X58/P55, så bare klø på og øvelse gør mester som amn siger

men ros skal du jo have for et fint review

thumbs up

God test, megen viden blev ført videre, men ikke FOR meget! 😉 (det kan forklares FOR grundigt).

Savnede en enkelt ting i testen. Da vi efterhånden er flere og flere der kører med hurtige SSD'ere som systemdiske, så er vores boottider jo faldet en hel del. Men POST-tiden kan vi ikke rigtig gøre noget ved, SSD'ere eller ej, og da nogle nyere mobo's tager sig RIGTIG god tid til POST, kunne det så ikke blive en fremtidig del af testen? Altså hvorlang tid tager POST (fra man tænder på knappen, til den begynder at indlæse Windows/Linux).

#7 Det tager lige omkring 1 sekund, faktisk nok endnu mindre ... var nødt til at spamme DEL knappen for at komme ind i BIOS 😲

Med hensyn til SSD, så kommer det jo helt an på om vi får sådan noget stillet til rådighed 😉

På nuværende tidspunkt er de stadigvæk rimelig dyre .. men det kunne da være fedt hvis f.eks. Intel eller Samsung stak os 2-4 stk SSD'er per maskine vi kunne smide i Raid 🤣

#8 Det er nu ikke kun inden DEL ikke virker mere, men den tid der går fra man tænder og til "Starter Windows" dukker op. Altså incl. den tid den er om at finde og initalisere HDD'erne i PC'en.
Jeg mente nu ikke, at der skulle benyttes SSD'ere til test, men at jeg (og flere andre) i dag HAR SSD'ere, og at boottiden efterhånden er så kort, at POST tiden er begyndt at være et irritationsmoment. Især hvis RAID eller AHCI er slået til, er visse mobo's ret længe om at komme dertil, hvor selve bootprocessen begynder ("Starter Windows" i Win 7, ellers der hvor de grønne/blå firkanter løber hen over skærmen)
Denne tid er væsentligt længere end det 1 sekund du skriver om (gid du havde ret, så købte jeg omgående sådan et mobo 😲 )

#9 POST er den tid det tager fra du trykker knappen til du når boot sekvensen på harddisken .. den ligger på lige godt 1 sekund hvis man som jeg brugte Intel's egen controller til harddisken. Til sammenligning kan jeg fortælle at mit eget E6300 system er ca. 2½ sekund om det.

Men igen kommer dette jo an på hvor hurtige ram og processor du har i systemet, samt hvor hurtig respons der er for de forskellige komponenter du har i systemet, jo flere kort, især PCI, jo længere tid om at initialisere og om gfx viser sin bios.

#10, Det kan ikke passe.
Prøv at se denne tråd:
http://hwt.dk/forumthread.aspx...

Du skriver, tror jeg, om den tid der går fra du tænder PC'en til det første POST vindue (den med ramtælling osv) lukker ned, men det er IKKE hele POST'en.
Prøv at læse tråden jeg linker til. Vi er flere der har POST-tider på mellem 15 og 20 sekunder, så det er ikke det samme vi snakker om.

#11 Okay har nu fortaget nogle flere test .. og min følelse med tiden er noget anderledes end virkeligheden ... så jeg er åbenbart ikke så krævende hehe

og jeg undskylder .. det tager 15 sekunder fra jeg tænder til den skriver Starting Windows, der går 6 sekunder før først post linie bliver vist.

Men testbundkortet var altså meget hurtigere, der nåede jeg ikke at se noget post på skærmen.

Men jeg vil for fremtiden tage tid på hvert eneste bundkort jeg tester, nu der er så mange af jer der synes det er relevant :D
