The Legit Reviews Test System

Before we look at the numbers, here is a brief glance at the test system that was used. All testing was done on a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. All benchmarks were completed on the desktop with no other software programs running.

AMD AM3+ Platform

The AMD AM3+ platform that we used to test the AMD Phenom and FX processors were run on the ASUS Crosshair V Formula motherboard with BIOS 9901 that came out on 9/26/2011. The Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600MHz memory kit was set to 1600MHz with 1.5v and 9-9-9-24 1T memory timings on the AMD FX-8150 and then at 1600MHz with 1.5v and 9-9-9-24 1T memory timings on the Phenom II X6 1100T processor.
