Performance of the Supermicro X7DWA-N

The assembly went smoothly. I used the following parts in the build:

• Supermicro X7DWA-N Motherboard
• 2 x Intel X5482 CPUs with Dynatron H46G heatsinks, included fans replaced with Vantec 80x38MM
• 4x2gig DDR2-800 FB-Dimms (Transcend)
• Single 36 gig WD Raptor
• PCP&C 750w Silencer PSU
• Leadtek 7800GTX Video card
• Lian LI PC70 case

Next is Cinebench10 64 bit. This is pure CPU power and shows the power of one core and the “speedup” using the 8 cores. This is at 3574MHz. 4407/26,662 There aren’t many faster than this that are air cooled:

Last is Sisoft Sandra, Multi-core efficiency and then the Multimedia test:
