NZXT N7 and N5 Z690 Review

AIDA64

Since its early days as Everest, AIDA64 has provided an excellent way to benchmark your system without requiring you to take a week off work whilst the tests run. From the memory bandwidth benchmarks which test your throughput, to the CPU benchmarks which vary in scope to test everything from raw calculation – CPU Queen – through compression algorithms – zLib – and the all important encryption – AES256.

It’s worth bearing in mind that the ASUS TUF, ASUS Strix and NZXT results are obtained utilising DDR4, so naturally the memory has better latency but worse overall throughput.
