SuperMicro C7H170-M (LGA 1151) Motherboard Review

Memory Performance

The 2133MHz frequency lingers behind 2666MHz results, but we can see the SuperMicro motherboard surpass its closest H170-based rival.
After the overclock has been applied, there is a subtle improvement in memory bandwidth, and it’s unfair to compare this figure to higher frequencies on Z170.
SiSoft Sandra
A similar pattern occurs in Sandra, as the C7H170-M beats the Gigabyte H170-HD3. This is especially in the case during the Integer test.
The overclock improves memory bandwidth by a healthy margin and brings each benchmark result above 27GB/s.
Combined Latency Test
On another note, the memory’s stock latency has some room for improvement although it’s significantly better than the only H170 alternative we’ve reviewed so far.
The overclocking process has a minimal effect in memory latency but this is a common occurrence.
