We will outline the performance increases that can be obtained from using the Asus Sabertooth Z97 Mark 1 motherboard to overclock our system. Our overclocked processor frequency was 4.5GHz and memory speed was 2400MHz.
As a performance comparison, we have included the overclocked results from two other Z97 motherboards. The maximum overclocked configuration achieved with each board was a 4500MHz (45 x 100MHz) processor frequency and 2400MHz CL10 memory speed.
Overclocked performance numbers show that the Sabertooth Z97 Mark 1 will not act as a limitation to a frequency-boosted system.
