G.Skill Trident X 2400MHz Review

Testing:

SiSoftware Sandra 2011: In this program, I will be running the following benchmarks: Cache and Memory, Memory Bandwidth, and Memory Latency. Higher is better in all tests, except for Memory Latency, where lower is better.

AIDA64 Extreme Edition is a software utility designed to be used for hardware diagnosis and benchmarking. I will be using the Cache and Memory benchmark to test each module’s read, write, and copy bandwidth, as well as the latency test.

Higher is Better

In almost every test in Sandra and AIDA64, the higher memory clock speed delivers increased performance over the rest of the comparison modules. The only time the Trident X modules are outperformed is by the GTX 8 modules running slightly tighter latencies, shown show in the AIDA64 latency testing.
