Test Setup
Today I'm using my pieced together LGA1156 testing platform. Like usual I am using Microsoft's Windows Vista x64 Ultimate with SP1 installed. The memory was run at DDR3-1600 8-8-8-24-1T with 1.6v. You can see in the image above that I currently am improvising for an LGA1156 heatsink so excuse the lack of impressive overclocking. AMD's Catalyst 9.8 drivers were utilized along with the latest versions of my benchmark suite.
