For our last set of benchmarks we will use the full battery of tests provided by AIDA64 Extreme (Formerly known as Everest). AIDA64 Extreme comes with many different preloaded system test results to compare against our review system. The decision was made to not run the AIDA64 Extreme benchmarks at stock settings because, let’s face it…… who the heck would run a “K” series CPU on this board at stock speeds?  I mean really, really? So, off we go to our first set of results at the 4.0 overclock.

The first four tests are all memory related.

 

The next five benchmarks are CPU related and test such things the the processor ability to handle calculations/mis-calculations, digital photo editing, file compression, AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) instructions and SHA1 hashing algorithm.

 

The last set of AIDA64 Extreme tests are the FPU tests which score video compression performance, single precision (also known as 32-bit) floating-point performance, double precision (also known as 64-bit) floating-point performance and finally extended precision (also known as 80-bit) floating-point performance.

 

Pretty much total domination in almost all the categories, the few test results where the P67 FTW did not come out on top was due to server class competition. I think you probably already know what is going to happen as we raise the CPU speed to 4.3Ghz, and then follow that up with the 4.5Ghz runs! But just for a little showing off we’ll run them anyway. Here is a look at the 4.3Ghz benchmark results starting with the memory tests.

Next is the AIDA64 Extreme CPU tests at 4.3Ghz.

Next is the FPU series of tests at 4.3Ghz.

Six or eight core CPU’s is what it took to keep the combination of the P67 FTW and our 2600K CPU from the top spot on every test. Great showing on all fronts!

Finally, with the CPU clocked to 4.5Ghz, we’ll run the test suite once more beginning again with the memory tests.

CPU testing at 4.5Ghz was next and here are those results.

And last but not least was the 4.5Ghz FPU tests, and here are those results.

Simply put, an awesome showing by this combination with the P67 FTW leading the way. All the benchmarks ran without a single hiccup at the various overclocked speeds, and plowed right through them!
