Avexir Blitz Series 1.1 4GB 1600MHz Memory Review

Test System and Procedure

Methods

In our RAM reviews we keep things relatively simple. We put the RAM kit that is being tested into our test system and we benchmark it at its primary XMP profile using AIDA64 and CPU-Z for validation. Once complete we then overclock the kit to see how far we can push it, then benchmark it again using the same combination of AIDA 64 and CPU-Z.

Test System (Pictured Below)

• Motherboard – Asus Maximus VI Formula Z87
• Processor – Intel Core i7 4770K at Stock With Turbo Enabled

We would like to thank Asus, Intel, AMD, Corsair, Kingston, Lian Li, Dell, Noctua and all our other partners who supplied us with test equipment and hardware. Their generosity makes our testing possible and without them we wouldn’t be able to produce the reviews we do, so thank you!
