In the practical part, we ran the games at FullHD (1920 x 1080) resolution to avoid a bottleneck caused by the VGA (yeah, the 2080 Ti is not a weak card, but still). We used RTSS to measure the number of frames per second (average fps). The results presented in the graphs are the averages of the values obtained in 3 runs. We will show you this setup running at 4400 MHz (and overclocked, which involved tuning the timings) later on in the article. Now, for the last thing on this page. Thermal performance was measured with a pyrometer and a FLIR.    

If you want to see the results with the Z390 motherboard and Intel Core i9 9900K combo - please check the Corsair RAM review.

We ran HCI Design MemTest  6.0 for 15 minutes. The memory kit was operating with XMP activated. The temperature was about 25° Celsius in idle mode. The stress temperature was about 33 degrees. Room temperature, at the time of testing, was about 22° Celsius. You also need to keep in mind that the temps should be lower with an air CPU cooler than an AIO.
