Performance - DDR3 Memory read | write

Memory Read test

So for memory we had some good stuff to work with, Intel has a couple of certified partners for memory to get some sweet XMP profiles going. One of them is G.Skill with their newly revised RipjawsZ series memory, their 3rd reincarnation of their DDR3 memory modules.

Obviously we also had to peek at memory bandwidth performance.  GSKILL submitted some of their new Trident X Dual-channel sticks at 2666MHz (C11) managing to push 25 GB/sec which is fantastic. Once you start to overclock the performance rises even more. In fact we have already show you that in the overclock chapter, we near 25K MB/sec there.

Mind you that the XMP profile did not kick in with the EVGA Z77, we manually entered the data in into the BIOS.

Memory Write test

We did the same with the memory write tests.
