ASRock H55DE3 Motherboard

The ASRock H55DE3 is a new Intel H55 mainboard with a full ATX factor. It Supports ATI CrossFireX, but the second slot runs at x4 mode.

When compared to the H55M Pro, Gigabyte H55M UD2H, Intel DH55TC and the MSI H55M E33 in Cinebench R10 the H55DE3 had about the same speed as the pro, but was about 4% faster than the other mainboards with a Corei5 661.



The ASRock site advertises the Turbo 50 feature as follows: Simply click the Turbo 50 button in BIOS, the system performance will boost up to 50% increase by automatically overclocking CPU, Memory, GPU frequency and all related voltage settings!

With a Core i3 530 an increase of 36.66% was reached for the CPU, and the GPU(IGP) was even boosted to 50.2% in 3D mark06, all this was done with the H55M Pro, but the results for the H55DE3 should beabout the same.


If you take into consideration the the H55DE3 has a 4 + 1 Power Phase Design, than the 36.66% increase for the CPU is quite remarkable.
