MVKTech Test Rig:
- Cooler Master Stacker Model STC-T01-UW Case
- LANParty™ 925X-T2 Motherboard
- Intel® Pentium® 4 550 LGA 775 3.4GHz CPU
- Corsair TwinX2 XMS2 Pro 675MHz DDR2
- Antec Neo Power 480watt Modular PSU
- NVIDIA PCX 6800Ultra 256MB ( NV45 )
- NVIDIA ForceWare 66.81 Beta using default install settings.
At last we are going to install the hardware into our Cooler Master case and start the performance end of the review. Right away we can see that the quality in workmanship is outstanding with this motherboard. Feature rich components and stylish looks and a BIOS thats very forgiving. Let's get on with it and take a look at the configuration.
 
We aquired a NV45 PCX 6800Ultra from NVIDIA and have installed this beast into our 925X-T2. This monster should prove very well with this motherboard.
 
Corsair sent us there latest TwinX2 XMS2 Pro 675MHz DDR2 1GB Kit for this review and this will compliment the 925X-T2 very well. RightMark Memory Analyzer v3.41, shows this ram as DDR2-667 (PC2-5300) with a maximum Frequency of 333.33 MHz. 64bits data width and a supported CAS# of 4.0. The PartNumber we are using: CM2X512-5400C4PRO
Our BIOS Detects this ram at 4-4-4-12. We will be running this RAM is stock configuration for our testing and benchmarking. The voltage will remain at default.
 
2 Maxtor 120GB 7200 RPM HDDs in RAID 0 will be this rigs storage configuration and now that we plugged in the last cable we will now add some Antec 480watt Neo Power to this rig and give it some life.
BIOS:
Standard with the 925X-T2 comes the Phoenix AwardBIOS CMOS. Through this BIOS you will be able to tweak Standard CMOS functions, Advanced BIOS Features, Advanced Chipset features, Integrated Peripherals, Power Management, PnP/PCI Configuration, PC Health Status, Genie BIOS Settings, CMOS Reloaded, Optimized Defaults, Set User & Supervisor passwords.
   
The Genie BIOS settings allow you to perform all your tweaks and over clocking needs. You can set the CPU voltage all the way to 1.9000v in 0.0125v increments. Genie BIOS allows you to change the Northbridge and DRAM voltages and perform overclocking via FSB settings in 1MHz increments to the external clock.
   
CMOS Reloaded allows you to set all your voltages and front side bus speeds and save them in memory banks, so tweaks and settings can be set instantly loaded. You can save 4 custom configurations and instantly load them into the CMOS. This is a super feature that saves on configuring your system everytime you want to overlock or tweak it.
   
The power management features of this BIOS is second to none. As with most Award BIOSes there are plenty of functionality for most situations, suiting both home office and the LAN Gamers. In the advance chipset features of the BIOS you can fully tweak your ram timings to that perfect setting.
We are going to tweak out the system as much as we can and then go perform some synthetic benchmarks. So lets go on to the benchmarks...
