ECS X79R-AX Deluxe Review - PAGE 8

Sisoft Sandra 2010:

Sandra, by SiSoftware, is a tool capable of benchmarking about every component found inside a computer. The processor arithmetic and multi-core efficiency will be ran as well as the memory bandwidth and latency benchmarks.

The stock performance performance of the ECS board was average for an SB-E system across the CPU and memory performance benchmarks. Once overclocked however, the performance was greatly increased. When overclocking the system for a motherboard review we tend to focus on the stable clock speed of the processor, which is why the memory scores did not see as dramatic an increase compared to those for the CPU.
