Mushkin 6GB (3x2GB) XP series DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz Kit
SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information & diagnostic utility capable of benchmarking the performance of individual components inside a PC. Each of the benchmarks below were run a total of five times with the highest and lowest scores being discarded and an average being calculated from the remaining three.
Focusing mainly on software and hardware information reporting, Everest also comes with a benchmark utility suitable for testing the read, write and latency performance of the memory subsystem. Each of these benchmarks were performed a total of 5 times with the highest and lowest scores being discarded and an average calculated from the remaining 3.
SuperPI is the benchmark of choice for many overclockers. It’s lightweight to download and can give a quick indication on how good a system is at number crunching. Once again, testing was performed a total of 5 times, with an average being calculated from the middle three results.
Results Observations
The Mushkin had the highest read speeds in both Everest and Sandra tests but also had the lowest write speeds. The Mushkin however proved the best performer in our SuperPI tests, being the quickest out of the three kits on test overall.
Let’s see how we got on with the run of 3D Benchmarks…
