There are 2,800mhz options available via their configurator also, but at extra cost. The 5820K processor is running at 4.2ghz – this is a 6 core, 12 thread processor with 15MB of Level 3 cache available. The MSI GTX970 is clocked at 1,102mhz, with a boost set at 1,241mhz. The 4GB of GDDR5 memory is clocked at 1,753mhz (7GBps effective).

All the latest BIOS updates and drivers are used during testing. We perform generally under real world conditions, meaning KitGuru tests games across five closely matched runs and then average out the results to get an accurate median figure. If we use scripted benchmarks, they are mentioned on the relevant page.
