ASUS P9X79 Deluxe System Settings
To keep things fair during the testing portion of this review, and to ensure I would not get any erroneous or stray readings, the only thing that I changed on the hardware was the motherboards and CPU, all other hardware remained the same.
These items include:
- Crucial 1866MHz 9-9-9-24 memory
- 2 x Seagate Momentus 320 HDDs in RAID 0
- 1 x Western Digital 1 TB HDD
- 1 x Crucial M4SSD2128GB SSD
- 2 x AMD Radeon HD6970 video cards
- 1 x Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatality
- PC Power & Cooling 950 WATT PSU
- 1 x Koolance CPU 360 CPU water block
- 2 x Koolance 697 full cover video card water blocks
- 1 x Swiftech triple 120mm radiator
- 1 x XSPC quad 120mm radiator
- With a dual loop shared 1 gallon reservoir.
Again the only things I did change was the motherboards/CPU combination. The tested motherboards and CPU combinations are as fallows:
- ASUS Rampage II Extreme with a Core i7 970
- ASUS P8P67 EVO with a Core i7 2600K
- ASUS P9X79 Deluxe with a Core i7 3820
