All four memory kits used in this review are 2x8GB kits, so we installed each module in slots 2 and 4 on our motherboard for consistency's sake. We then went into the BIOS, loaded the ‘optimised default' settings before loading the XMP profile for each kit. We verified the timings and frequencies were correct before saving and exiting the BIOS.
We tested the following memory kits:
- Geil EVO X 3200MHz (16-16-16-36)
- Geil Super Luce 3000MHz (16-18-18-36)
- Patriot Viper LED 2400MHz (14-14-14-32)
- Patriot Viper LED 3000MHz (15-17-17-35)
Our testing consists of the following benchmarks:
- AIDA64 read/write speeds
- AIDA64 latency
- Cinebench R15
- Handbrake video encoding
- Ghost Recon: Wildlands game benchmark
