PCQ Bureau
New Update

This futuristic motherboard is based on latest LGA 1366 socket of Intel i7

CPU family. Two features that stand out in this motherboard are DrMOS and APS.

Both these features help save power consumption, and at the same time enhance

performance. DrMOS has integrated Driver IC, Top-MOSFET and Bottom-MOSFET that

has three features: GreenPower technology for saving power, XpressCool feature

for low operational temperature, and RapidBoost for stable over clocking. To

control power demand, Eclipse comes with Active Phase Switching for CPU, Memory

and Chipset that results in efficient power loading. However, the motherboard

does not support Windows 98/ME.

Our test setup included Intel's i7 3.20 GHz CPU, 2 GB DDR3 RAM, ATI Radeon

4800 series graphics card, and Seagate Barracuda 320 GB 7200 rpm HDD. We started

with 3D Mark 06 and POV-Ray to check graphical capability of this motherboard

along with graphics card, and it scored 13536 and 91846 respectively making it a

good buy for gamers. Scores for CineBench R10 and Memory latency were 9499 and

74ns respectively, again making this board quite efficient. Overall performance

measured using PC Mark 05 was excellent with 9354. When we compared this

motherboard with Asus P6T Deluxe (reviewed in Jan 09) we didn't find any drastic

difference

Bottomline: With a price tag of 22k, this motherboard is built for

future. Go for this if you are willing to buy Intel's i7 CPU family.
