ECS N2U400-A nForce2 Mainboard Review (3)
Bluetooth 2 Jan 2004

Benchmarking

Before we benchmark, we document the FSB the board is running at. The FSB of the N2U400-A runs at 200.5MHz which is quite the same as most of the NF2 boards tested so far. Do take note that as the N2U400-A does not come with voltage adjustments, the best ram timings we can run is CAS 2, 6-2-3. This might result in a slightly lower score as the other boards are tested at CAS 2, 6-2-2 or CAS 2, 5-2-2.

In the SiSoft Sandra Memory benchmark tests, we find the N2U400-A is quite impressive with a score of It is to my surprise that I see such a high score of 3083/2899. When we set the ram timings to CAS 2, 6-2-2, we managed to get 3094/2914 which is even higher than most NF2 boards tested. It is a pity that the default VDIMM on this board is lower than 2.7v to ensure aggressive timings work at DDR400.
