TESTING METHODOLOGY

 
    Whenever we get to test a hardware peripheral that its performance is measurable we always like comparing it with similar products (past and present quad channel kits) just to see how well it stands its ground against them and in order to give you the best and most accurate results possible we use several methods including 5 different benchmarking programs/suites and 1 game. The benchmarking programs used are the well-known AID64 Extreme Engineer Edition (formerly known as Everest Ultimate), the Sisoftware Sandra Pro version, the old but quite reliable ScienceMark 64Bit and the all-time classic SuperPi 1.5. As for the game in the past we used HAWXII but we replaced it with the far more demanding ArMA III since we feel that it's a lot more "accurate" in terms of results. As usual all tests were performed on a fresh Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 installation with all updates installed up to October 6th 2013.
