It is highly recommended! SiSoft’s Sandra 20/20 R6 is the very latest version, and we are using the full engineer suite courtesy of SiSoft. There are several versions of Sandra, including a free version of Sandra Lite that anyone can download and use. In addition, Sandra is derived from a Greek name that implies “defender” or “helper” – a PC Wonder Woman.

It is able to provide all the information about your hardware, software and other devices for diagnosis and for benchmarking.

SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an complete information & diagnostic utility in one complete package.

Benchmarking Synthetic Benches SiSoft Sandra 20/20īefore we get to gaming, we want to see exactly where memory performance results differ, and there is no better tool than SiSoft’s SANDRA 20/20. It is important to look at synthetic benchmarks to highlight the differences between our three memory samples and also note what happens to application and game performance as we increase the T-FORCE Vulcan Z memory’s clock speeds from 3000MHz to 3333MHz as well as to compare with higher performance DDR4. A more hardcore overclocker may want to aim for the highest overclock that their own memory will reach, and afterward they may fine-tune the timings for maximum memory performance. We believe that our overclock of +333Hz from 3000MHz to 3333MHz may be a good middle ground for many enthusiasts wanting great value, long memory life, complete stability and increased performance. We also confirmed that our final overclock to 3333MHz was stable by running MemTest/64 and Windows Memory Diagnostics overnight, as well as by playing games and running BTR’s other benching suites. We tested our final overclock using AIDA64’s System Test. It refused to post above 3333MHz, and it would probably have required more the 1.4V that we are willing to use.

After much experimentation including reaching 3200MHz with 1.385V, we finally settled on an overclock of just above 11%, or +333MHz, to stably reach DDR4 3333MHz speeds which are several speed grades above 3000MHz. We used our own self-imposed hard cap of 1.4V which we used to stabilize the memory overclock. Here it is overclocked to 3333MHz with the same timings as at 3000MHz but now at 1.4V for stability: Here is CPU-Z showing the Vulcan Z DDR4 3000MHz timings and speeds: Tightening DDR’s timings tend to bring less performance gain than increasing clock speed and should probably be left until after the preliminary overclocking stability tests are complete. We used the default timings of the Vulcan Z DDR4 3000MHz memory to increase its clocks until we reached its maximum stable speed at 1.4V. Overclocking & Benchmark Results Overclockingīefore we look at our benches, let’s explore overclocking our T-FORCE Vulcan Z DDR4 3000MHz.
