Performance System Memory: DDR3 Memory read and write
Performance System Memory 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 the memory specialists offering XMP optimized memory DIMMS is GSKILL with their Ripjaws series memory, their memory can be stock clocked at 2100 MHz.
We received a DIMM dual-channel kit optimized for B85/Z87. And what you are about to see is quite staggering in terms of memory bandwidth. For everything that you see below, we use either default BIOS settings, and when overclocked simply flicked the XMP profile in the BIOS to on. It's that simple.
