Test System

Mushkin DDR3-1600 7-9-7-24 Blackline

For today's testing I'm using my trusty Gigabyte P55A-UD6 with my abused Core i7 860es. I've finally stepped out of the stone age and jumped over to Windows 7, for this round of testing I'm using Windows 7 Professional x64. For each memory kit I simply enabled the XMP profile in the BIOS and ran the test suite. CPU vcore was set to 1.3v through all the testing to eliminate core instability while CPU vtt was set to an incredibly low 1.1v. More on why vtt was so low later, first the stock tests.
