[Matična ploča] Asus M4A89GTD Pro

[veseliburek]

Ploča dolazi u krajnje šarenom pakovanju, sa naglaskom na "ekstremni dizajn" i dva inteligentna procesora, EPU i TPU, zaduženi za čuvanje električne energije i porast performansi.



Pakovanje:
-ATA kabl
-2x SATA2 kablovi sa konektorom pod uglom od 90 stepeni
-2x SATA3 kablovi sa konektorom pod uglom od 90 stepeni
-Asusov Q-Connector za lakše povezivanje front panel-a
-VGA switch card (o tome nešto kasnije)
-i standardno: backplate, uputstvo, disk, itd...



Na ploči pre svega dominira plava boja sa tamnim PCB-em, pune je ATX veličine.



Na zadnjem panelu se nalaze PS2, 6xUSB 2.0 (USB3 verzija ima 2 USB 3.0 umesto 2.0, ali po meni to nije opravdavalo razliku u ceni ), optički audio izlaz, VGA i DVI, Firewire, e-SATA, LAN i 6 3.5mm konektora za zvuk.



Mesto gde se na skupljoj verziji nalazi NEC-ov USB 3.0 čip:



Prva stvar koja mi je zapala za oko je izdignuti EPS12V konektor za procesor. Iako se ovo čini kao odlična stvar jer eliminiše potrebu da se prsti zavlače duboko kako bi se kabl otkačio, u mom slučaju meni ovo nije odgovaralo zbog položaja radijatora za vodeno hlađenje, ali je problem rešen.



Desetofazna naponska sekcija (8 za procesor i 2 za mem. kontroler) je pasivno hlađena i povezana toplotnom cevi sa hladnjakom na severnom mostu. I pri većim opterećenjima hlađenje je mlako i odlično vrši svoj posao.



Što se tiče donjeg dela ploče, tu se nalazi 6 SATA3 konektora, ATA konektor pod uglom (pohvalno, iako ga ne koristim), 4 USB headera za ukupno osam portova, firewire header, i konektori za front panel.



Ploča takođe poseduje 2 prekidača i jedno dugme: turbo key, core unlocker i memOK. Turbo key automatski overklokuje procesor za određeni procenat, mada iako ovu funkciju nisam probao (manual FTW), na drugim testovima sam pročitao da ovo iako overklokuje procesor, znatno usporava memoriju, tako da sistem čak ostvaruje i lošije performanse. Core unlocker otključava skrivena jezgra i keš na procesorima (pošto je ACC uklonjen iz SB850 južnog mosta), mada iako postoji ovo dugme, postoji opcija u BIOS-u kojom se biraju aktivna jezgra (spasonosno u slučaju mog Athlona X3 kome je četvrto jezgro nestabilno, makar se dobija L3 keš). Zanimljivo je da ako se računar više puta resetuje posle aktiviranja core unlocker prekidača, ploča će automatski isključivati jezgra dok ne uspe da podigne operativni sistem. Pohvalno. Funkciju memOK dugmeta nisam baš najbolje razjasnio (na svu sreću nije mi ni bilo potrebno), ali u teoriji po pritiskanju dugmeta, ploča "nekako" uspeva da proradi sa nekompatibilnim modulima. ()



Ploča poseduje dva PCI-E slota. Gornji može da radi na maksimalno 8x, dok donji može da radi na 16x ukoliko je VGA-Switch uboden u prvu, ako nije, oba slota rade na 8x. E sad, ono što se meni dešava je da kad sam stavio VGA-Switch u prvi slot i u drugi slot Gainwardovu GTS 250, AIDA 64 prijavljuje da radi na 4x (), a kad sam izvadio tu karticu, ostalo je na 4... Verovatno update BIOS-a rešava ovaj problem.

CPU Queen

Spoiler za info:

This simple integer benchmark focuses on the branch prediction capabilities and the misprediction penalties of the CPU. It finds the solutions for the classic "Queens problem" on a 10 by 10 sized chessboard (http://mathworld.wolfram.com/QueensProblem.html).

At the same clock speed theoretically the processor with the shorter pipeline and smaller misprediction penalties will attain higher benchmark scores. For example -- with HyperThreading disabled -- the Intel Northwood core processors get higher scores than the Intel Prescott core based ones due to the 20-step vs 31-step long pipeline. However, with enabled HyperThreading the picture is controversial, because due to architectural bottlenecks the Northwood core runs out of internal resources and slows down. Similarly, at the same clock speed AMD K8 class processors will be faster than AMD K7 ones due to the improved branch prediction capabilities of the K8 architecture.

CPU Queen test uses integer MMX, SSE2 and SSSE3 optimizations. It consumes less than 1 MB system memory and it is HyperThreading, multi-processor (SMP) and multi-core (CMP) aware.

CPU PhotoWorxx

Spoiler za info:

This integer benchmark performs different common tasks used during digital photo processing.

It performs the following tasks on a very large RGB image:
• Fill
• Flip
• Rotate90R (rotate 90 degrees CW)
• Rotate90L (rotate 90 degrees CCW)
• Random (fill the image with random coloured pixels)
• RGB2BW (colour to black & white conversion)
• Difference
• Crop


This benchmark stresses the integer arithmetic and multiplication execution units of the CPU and also the memory subsystem. Due to the fact that this test performs high memory read/write traffic, it cannot effectively scale in situations where more than 2 processing threads used. For example, on a 8-way Pentium III Xeon system the 8 processing threads will be "fighting" over the memory, creating a serious bottleneck that would lead to as low scores as a 2-way or 4-way similar processor based system could achieve.

CPU PhotoWorxx test uses only the basic x86 instructions, and it is HyperThreading, multi-processor (SMP) and multi-core (CMP) aware.

Important note

I eto, to je to što se tiče korisničkog opisa, ako nešto nekoga zanima, neka pita slobodno. (a i mišljenja nisu na odmet )

Veliki hendikep kod testova je što oni ne upoređuju isključivo ploče već kombinacije ploča i procesora. Za slučaj da imamo nekoliko raspoloženih forumaša, pozvani su kod mene da testiramo AM3 ploče, uvek zadovoljstvo družiti se sa kolegama...

[>>ScReAmEr>>]

Lepo i sazeto. Svaka ti dala

[Luka.]

Bice jos rezultata, pojavicu se ja na 3,5GHz i burek bez L3, pa cemo da vidimo onda situaciju.
Inace, test odlican, sve do detalja odradjeno...

[Thaedass]

Po meni Asus je debelo pogresio kad su plocu pustili u prodaju sa VGA switch card-om. Deluje prilicno amaterski jer se stice utisak kao da ploca nije bila 100% zavrsena pre pustanja u prodaju..

Lep si ti posao napravio prelaskom na AMD Svaka cast na odradjenom testu. Btw kako si resio problem sa izdignutio EPS12V konektorom? Jel si montirao Slim Slipstream ili..?

[veseliburek]

Da, krajnje me nervira to sa switch karticom, no dobro, šta je tu je...
Rešio sam montiranjem tankog slipstreama, jeste da pritiska konektor al' jbg, šta ja tu mogu.

Biće slike kućišta, samo da mi se napune baterije za fotoaparat...
