CPU Performance Results

We spent a week with the Gigabyte Z77N-WiFi before beginning our performance testing, running various configurations and CPUs, and checking hardware compatibility. We verified our power consumption numbers using various different power supplies and played a few hours of games with some members of the TPU community to get an overall feel for the board, and to verify stability. Once completed, we tore down the system, mounted our CoolerMaster cooler, and put the board through the paces. I will, as with other recent reviews of mine, let the numbers do the talking.

WinRAR & wPrime

AIDA64

CineBench & HandBrake Encoding

The Gigabyte Z77N-WiFi posted pretty good results across the board, matching many of the highly optimized overclocking boards in CPU performance. I am sure using G.SKill ram boosted some of those numbers a bit, but the Gigabyte Z77N-WiFi is also - compared to the other boards - short a VGA.
