Memory Performance
AIDA64 Engineer
In terms of memory bandwidth, the motherboard manages decent figures but the read rate is slightly behind other Z170 options. In the grand scheme of things, it’s not a big deal and you’re unlikely to notice the performance deficit outside of synthetic testing.
SiSoft Sandra
On a more positive note, the memory performance is significantly better during the Sandra benchmark and demonstrates the motherboard’s ability to output good numbers.
Combined Latency Test
When it comes to latency, the motherboard does brilliantly and maintains low figures in both Aida64 and SiSoft Sandra.
