Asus Sabertooth X79 Motherboard Review

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.

AIDA64 showed, at least to us, that an overclock, even if only using the CPU multiplier, can really affect the way that the memory operates, though we also found that dual channel seems to offer much better speeds in comparison to the newer quad channel technology.
