During system optimizations and tweaking it provides essential system and overclock information, advanced hardware monitoring and diagnostics capabilities to check the effects of the applied settings. CPU, FPU and memory benchmarks are available to measure the actual system performance and compare it to previous states or other systems. Furthermore, complete software, operating system and security information makes EVEREST Ultimate Edition a comprehensive system diagnostics tool that offers a total of 100 pages of information about your PC. The software has several tests for memory and CPU/FPU built-in.

Both the Asus P5N32-E SLI and Plus versions performed very well in the memory tests, surpassing even the EVGA 680i LT.

In the CPU tests, the Asus P5N32-E SLI Plus was very fast, actually faster than many, other Nvidia based motherboards.

 

SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information & diagnostic utility. It should provide most of the information (including undocumented) you need to know about your hardware, software and other devices whether hardware or software. It works along the lines of other Windows utilities, however it tries to go beyond them and show you more of what's really going on. Giving the user the ability to draw comparisons at both a high and low-level. You can get information about the CPU, chipset, video adapter, ports, printers, sound card, memory, network, Windows internals, AGP, PCI, PCIe, ODBC Connections, USB2, 1394/Firewire, etc. Sisoft Sandra offers a variety of tests for Memory and CPU.

In Sisoft Sandra 2007 SP1, we confirmed our findings from the previous tests. The Asus P5N32-E SLI Plus is just as fast as the other nVidia based motherboards. In the memory tests, the P5N32-E SLI is faster.

The USB performance of the motherboards was measured with Sisoft Sandra and a Corsair Voyager 8GB GT USB stick. The "Removable Storage" benchmark was used to get the "Performance Index" (reading/writing operations per minute).

Very good performance from the Asus P5N32-E SLI Plus, which was the best performer with a score of 11357.
