Test Configuration

For this roundup I stuck with the normal stack of components including Corsair's Dominator DDR3 and HX 1000 power supply, MSI's GTX 275 Lightning, and a single Seagate 7200.10 hard-drive. Windows Vista Ultimate x64 with SP1 was used along with NVIDIA 195.62 drivers with default visual quality settings. Memory timings were set to 7-8-7-20-74-1T with the memory speed set to DDR3-1600. The ECS P55H-A was unable to utilize the DDR3-1600 memory divider so the DDR3-1333 divider was used and created a slight performance penalty.
