Subsystem Testing
DPC Latency
Due to the results seen above, we tested and retested this multiple times to try and correct the issue. That being said, while the DPC latency results were nothing short of appalling, they did not cause any issues with the playback of audio or video in games or while streaming video. Generally, you want to stay under 1,000 and we hit 20x that amount. Again, it didn’t seem to cause a real-world problem but it’s interesting that the result was so bad.
SSD Performance
SSD performance was tested using the M.2_1 slot. The SSD used for testing is a Corsair MP600 1TB M.2 NVMe drive.
As expected, the performance of this SSD is consistent with what we’ve seen with it on other motherboards. These results are also in line with the manufacturer’s specifications which shows our motherboard is working as it should.
