Asus Z77-A (Z77) 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.

AIDA’s disk benchmark has left me very satisfied this time round with a stock read speed that has beaten my expectation a little, with a speed at stock that matches Gigabyte’s top of the range UP7. This is not all it had though and overclocking a saw a few extra MB/s chucked in for good measure.
