Power consumption was tested on the system as a whole with a wall meter connected to the OCZ 1250W power supply, while in a single MSI GTX Karl Mecklenburg Jersey 770 Lightning GPU configuration. This power supply is Gold rated, and as I am in the UK on a 230 240 V supply, leads to 75% efficiency > 50W, and 90%+ efficiency at 250W, which is suitable for both idle and multi GPU loading. This method of power reading allows us to compare the power management of the UEFI and the board to supply components with power under load, and includes typical PSU losses Karl Mecklenburg Broncos Jersey due to efficiency. These are the real world values that consumers may expect from a typical system (minus the monitor) using this motherboard.


While this method for power measurement may not be ideal, and you feel these Authent... Demaryius Thomas Jersey numbers are not representative due to the high wattage power supply being used (we use the same PSU to remain consistent over a series of reviews, and the fact that some boards on our test bed get tested with three or four high powered GPUs), the important point to take away is the relationship between the numbers. These boards are all under the same conditions, and thus the differences between them should be easy to spot.


Different motherboards have different POST sequences before an operating system is initialized. A lot of this is dependent on the board itself, and POST boot time is determined by the controllers on board (and the sequence of how those extras are organized). As part of our testing, we are now going to look at the POST Boot Time this is the time from pressing the ON button on the computer to when Windows 7 starts loading. (We discount Windows loading as it is highly variable given Windows specific features.) These results are subject to human error, so Demaryi... Thomas Jersey please allow +/ 1 second in these results.


With Windows 8 having more market share, the impetus to improve POST times for Windows 7 systems might not be at the top of a manufacturers list. However the Z97X UD5H puts in a good show under 11 seconds by default, and almost 9 seconds when stripped.

I really like that Gigabyte provided a block diagram of the Authent... Karl Mecklenburg Jersey board. Between flexible IO, PLX chips, on board USB hubs, and the sata switch used here; it can be really hard to figure out exactly what connected where and what can be used at the same time. The diagram had almost everything I want Womens Demaryius Thomas Jersey to know collected in a single place; the only exception being which USB3 ports were attached to the hub. Also, the project kits were a blast


RyanSmithAT: Today's lucky numbers: 9.3, 41.6, and 45.1. Something about this does not rest well with me.
