Performance System Memory: DDR3 Memory read and write

Performance System Memory: 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 1.3 profiles going. One of them is Corsair with their newly released Vengeance Pro series memory, their 3rd reincarnation of their DDR3 memory modules I think.

Now with the regular memory at 1600 MHz versus AIDA memory tests we see good performance hovering at the 24-25K marker. A bit unusually high to be honest.

Memory Write test

We did the same with the memory write tests. The Write perf jumped to 37K when the system is overclocked to 4800 MHz and the XMP profile enabled.

Above - Default clock frequency on CPU / 1600 Mhz on DDR3

Above - CPU overclocked to 4800 MHz + Memory XMP @ 2400 MHz for DDR3

So if you like to go a little more crazy, once you overclock and enable an XMP profile (should you have compatible memory) then you get stuff like shown in the charts above with the 2400 MHz results (in the upper charts which is very impressive of course), this is the new Corsair Vengeance Pro series kit at 2400 MHz.
