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.
With SATA III speeds within AIDA64 on a random read test, the Sapphire board pushed ahead of the competition and the boost clock speed to 4.4GHz managed to squeeze a few more MB/s out of the board pushing it to 434MB/s from 431MB/s.
