Review: NZXT N7 B550

CPU Tests

One would expect the NZXT board to benchmark pretty closely to the Asus. It's a little ways behind on all three benchmarks. Part of the reason is that NZXT/ASRock dials in a lower package power limit than Asus, as evidenced here.

The X570 provides an additional 5-7W of CPU power at whatever Asus defines as stock, which is why you will also see it have higher 2D power consumption later on.
