BIOSTAR A68N-5200 Motherboard Review

Memory Performance

AIDA64 Engineer

As previously mentioned, I couldn’t get the memory to run at 1600MHz and had to settle for a 1333MHz frequency. Therefore, the memory speeds are not what I’d expect and hopefully a BIOS update will be able to rectify the BIOS’ inability to accept a 1600MHz profile.

Here we can see the memory bandwidth is perfectly fine for a dual-channel DDR3 kit running at 1333MHz. It’s such a shame that I couldn’t increase the speed beyond this and determine the DIMM’s maximum performance.

Combined Latency Test

The memory’s latency is in-tune with a 1333MHz memory kit and shouldn’t pose any problems for basic tasks or some light gaming.
