Making Use of What ASUS Gave Us

Right out of the box, looking at the benchmarks, it becomes quickly obvious that these sticks perform at the top all the time. But what is not immediately obvious is the huge capabilities sticks like these have, especially when paired with the right motherboard. All the "quick-pick" memory profiles that are provided within my test board's BIOS worked flawlessly with these sticks, even the seemingly crazy 4000 MHz C13 profile. While these aren't the very best sticks you can get right now, these are good enough for you to explore the limits of what's possible, no matter what cooling you might be using, including LN2. There's quite obviously room to spare when you want to push the clocks and voltage up a bit to have a bit of benchmarking fun, and their XMP profile is not so high that it truly affects CPU clocks when you want to push for some 3D numbers, either. You really do get what you pay for with these sticks, if benchmarking is part of your PC repertoire.
