Gigabyte Z87X-UD3H (Z87) 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.

SATA performance is exactly where it should be with a strong transfer speed of 454MB/s and lines up well with other Z87 offerings. The overclock helped to push the transfer speed up but only by 2MB/s.
