We would like to thank Kingston Technologies Inc., and Intel for providing the equipment for our review.

[box_tip]We present these numbers for your own conclusion and comparison. All data are gathered with the same system configuration unless otherwise stated.[/box_tip]

Note that the last time we’ve had an X79 board on deck was when the 3960X was still 6 months fresh. A long time has gone by and we haven’t been stocking up on the test data with it. That said, we will be providing data from an Ivy Bridge system and Haswell system for informative purposes only. Our processor has proven quite uncooperative on this board and only had us going at 4.2Ghz at 1.4v. That said, this frequency will be the one used for our OC tests.
