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.

We know that X79 is not such a demon when it comes memory bandwidth and yet again we find some very close results when compared against the competition. Overclocking the CPU did see a substantial gain on the bandwidth available, especially for the write speed which saw a gain of just under 7000Mb/s.
