Overclocking

Although the full potential of the latest X99 motherboards will only be discovered when the new Intel CPUs land, the X99A Carbon still gets some good speeds from our Core i7-5960X. We had to back off the CPU clock speed slightly to achieve the memory setting we prefer, but still a combination of 4.35GHz CPU and 3000MHz DDR4 should be plenty of bandwidth for anyone’s needs, and at only 1.25V.
