Sandra Memory Bandwidth
SiSoft Sandra 2016 is a multi-function utility program that supports remote analysis, benchmarking and diagnostic features for PCs, servers, mobile devices and networks. We use the SiSoft Sandra memory bandwidth test to provide a set of memory bandwidth results.
7-Zip
7-Zip is an open source Windows utility for manipulating archives. We measure the Total Rating performance using the built-in benchmark tool. The test stresses all CPU cores to 100% and shows an affinity for memory bandwidth.
Memory performance was also strong, aided by the ability to set correct timings thanks to the A-XMP setting. 7-Zip hits a 41,000 MIPS rating, which is positive.
You should test usb lag for mouse input. I hear fps gamers saying Ryzen is smoother because the usb is on cpu, vs Intel where it has to bounce between chips across the board. It’s more relevant at high refresh rates.
I would still go for the Taichi X370, has better power…
Hi I’m thinking of getting this motherboard but want to replace the m.2 shield with this (https://www.scan.co.uk/products/ekwb-ek-m2-nvme-heatsink-black-ribbed-aluminium-design-provides-passive-cooling-to-m2-2280-pcie-sata) DO you think I would have clearance issues with a gpu installed(I have the aorus 1080)?
