Methodology

In our RAM reviews, we keep things relatively simple. We put the RAM kit that is being tested into our test system and benchmark it at its first XMP profile using a variety of benchmarks and tests. Once complete, we apply a reasonable overclock where possible. Doing this allows us to judge the performance of the memory better; benchmarked at both XMP and overclocked value.
