Alright, let us begin the most boring part of our motherboard review today: The benchmarks. How can so many pages be so boring? Well, If you are reading this, you are one of the few who didn't skip over this section and went straight for the conclusion, haha. This is because benchmarking motherboards are usually, well, not very useful. Unless manufacturers implement base clock "cheats", performance between brands is virtually identical. We still do them anyway, but with so many features on the processor itself, evaluating a motherboard in this manner has become somewhat irrelevant in 2014. Therefore, like we have done in the G1.Sniper Z87 review earlier this year, I just compared the motherboard against itself with the Intel Core i7-4790K overclocked. This provides a more interesting comparison to show off the unique capabilities of the motherboard. I managed to take the CPU to 4.7GHz at reasonable voltages (More on this later), and the results are as above. There is an average gain of around 10% with the overclocked i7-4790K, but that is mainly because Turbo Boost already takes it to 4.4GHz without changing a thing.
