| Performance* | ++++ Benchmark values comparison with different graphics cards and benchmark tools.
SiSoftware Sandra 2013 benchmark values with Intel Core i5-6600K processor 3DMark benchmark values with Intel Core i5-6600K processor. 3DMark06 benchmark values with Intel Core i5-6600K processor. |
| Manual and Labeling | ++ Well placed, complete motherboard description and good manual with a lot of tips about topics like CPU installation, memory installation, etc.. The manual comes in different languages. The usual software setup guide with UEFI settings was in the sample unfortunately not included and is available as a PDF. Therefore, a moderate depreciation of the manual because the PDF does not help the buyer, when one is in the BIOS. |
