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.
Taking a look at the memory performance on read, write and copy tests, we can see from previous experience that the FM2 platform doesn’t release mass amounts of bandwidth when needed but when comparing the same platform, the MSI board finally gets its chance to shine and produces some strong numbers at both stock and overclock, with the speeds increasing by around 500-700MB/s.
