IOMeter RAID results are healthy and normal.
LAN_SpeedTest
We used our HomeServer on a Gig-Ethernet network across Cat6. The file for the test transfer was created on the SSD and transferred to the network Server SSD. The server was on idle with no other users logged in, and no other traffic was present on the LAN at the time of the tests.
Horrible. We spent around 4 hours benchmarking the Wi-Fi in many physical configurations, nothing improved the performance.
LAN results are fine, though nothing too exciting. For LAN file transfers it’s not going to hold you back, but avoid Wi-Fi. It should be noted these results are using a non-RAID configuration. It will have a small effect on the performance of large LAN transfers. The Wi-Fi results are using RAID 0, it gave the best results by the time we concluded.
Gaming Test Results
We decided to show three maps per game to give an idea of performance on a familiar or possibly favourite map. We stuck to our rules with high ping’s being excluded, and we played three sessions per map.
Battlefield 4 is up first with all maps played showing very similar performance. We noted no issues with Operation Firestorm at the beginning, despite dropping to 20 FPS in our final test example.
The three maps hug a reasonable 60 FPS line with no drops below 40 FPS when the players are in full troll.
Asus Rampage V Extreme Motherboard Review
Package - 9.5
Performance - 9
Price - 7
Consumer Experience - 7
8.1
How can an overall score of four get a recommended? The Consumer Experience rating really brought the final mark down, just imagine what this would have been if there had been a little more consumer experience thinking. We haven't tested every aspect or feature of this motherboard, there is so much crammed in it wasn't possible. We stuck to the performance and the main features but you really need read and try to understand the full feature set that comes with this motherboard, it's insane.
