AIDA64
AIDA64 Extreme Edition is a streamlined Windows diagnostic and benchmarking software for home users. AIDA64 Extreme Edition provides a wide range of features to assist in overclocking, hardware error diagnosis, stress testing, and sensor monitoring. It has unique capabilities to assess the performance of the processor, system memory, and disk drives. AIDA64 is compatible with all current 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft Windows operating systems, including Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
Whereas SATA performance is closely marked, USB 3.0 performance does show a slight weak spot on the X79 Fatal1ty with speeds of at least 25MB/s slower than other boards in the same class at stock speeds. Overclocking the board did see a slight gain in performance but again this was still slower that others that were running at stock.
