Supermicro C7Z170-SQ Motherboard Review

We will outline the performance increases that can be obtained from using the Supermicro C7Z170-SQ motherboard to overclock our system. Our overclocked processor frequency was 4.8GHz and memory speed was maintained at 2800MHz.

As a performance comparison, we have included the overclocked results from 7 other Z170 motherboards. The maximum overclocked configuration achieved with each board was a 4800MHz (48 x 100MHz) processor frequency and memory speed was 3200MHz CL16 where the board supported it (not on the ASRock Z170 Extreme4 and this Supermicro C7Z170-SQ).

The CPU intensive benchmarks show that there is little difference between all of the Z170 motherboards; even after overclocking. On the GTA benchmark, the overclock gave a yield of just 0.4 FPS.
