The Test System
The Test System
Before we look at the numbers, let's take a brief look at the test system that was used. All testing was done on a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and benchmarks were completed on the desktop with no other software programs running. We went with an Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge processor and a Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H motherboard for testing since they are the latest and greatest available.

Intel Z77 Test Platform:
The Intel Z77 platform that we used to test the Crucial Ballistix Tactical LP and Spory VLP memory kits was running the Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H motherboard with BIOS F6 that came out on 4/26/2012. The processor was an Intel Core i7-3770K that was overclocked from 3.50GHz to 4.50GHz. This 1GHz overclocked was achieved by changing the CPU multiplier from x35.0 to x45.0 and raising the CPU Voltage to 1.250V.
