Gigabyte X299X Aorus Xtreme Waterforce Review i9 10980XE

SiSoft Sandra – Arithmetic and MultiMedia

Sandra performs a similar function to AIDA64, but it tests it in a different manner which gives us an excellent overview of the whole setup and how well rounded it is. The tests take longer than the AIDA64 ones, but that just makes them more likely to trip up a poorly implemented overclock, or weed out any hidden depths.

The Gigabyte Waterforce does well in the Sandra Arithmetic test although, as you can also see from the MultiMedia benchmark, the gap between each of the X299 motherboards isn’t too much.
