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 3200 and 3600 (for AMD)/ 3600 (for Intel) MHz (tweaked) later on in the article. Now, for the last thing on this page. Thermal performance was measured with a pyrometer.

We ran HCI Design MemTest 6.0 for 15 minutes. The memory kit was operating with XMP activated. In idle mode, the temperature was about 28-29° Celsius and it reached 10° more under stress testing. 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 with an AIO.

Today, we are looking at Patriot Viper Steel 3600 MHz CL18 memory in a 64 GB set consisting of two 32 GB modules.
