CPU Performance Results

We spent a week with the Gigabyte GA-Z87X-OC before beginning our performance testing, running various configurations and CPUs and checking hardware compatibility. We verified our power consumption numbers using 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. Do note that I've updated to the most recent version of AIDA64 as it supports Haswell properly. I have also added PCMark8 numbers.
