7-Zip

7-Zip is an open source Windows utility for manipulating archives. We manually archive a 1.72GB MP4 game recording. The test stresses all CPU cores to 100% and shows an affinity for memory bandwidth.

Memory performance of the X99-Ultra Gaming is solid. The board manages to beat out Asus' older X99-Deluxe, but it can't match the numbers shown by Asus' flagship Rampage V Edition 10. That's a pretty fair result given the significant price differences.

    Voltage accuracy is the X99A Gaming Pro Carbon’s weakest link, It had never given what I asked. For example, I asked 1.197 volts, it gave 1.194 volts, and CUP-Z read 1.194 volts.
