WinRAR

Unfortunately the WinRAR chart below is very misleading, as the Asus Formula Maximus Special Edition results shown were for the multi-threaded WinRAR, and the other results were for single threaded tests.

Why?

We are in the middle of changing some of our tests, and we have discontinued using the single threaded version of many of the benchmarks we have used in the past.

HDTach

The Asus Formula Maximus Special Edition does extremely well at SATA HDTach, unlike the other motherboards show, it had no problems with SATA2 drivers not running at full speed.

Excellent IDE results for the Asus Formula Maximus Special Edition as well!

There is basically no difference in the USB results.
