Test Setup

We test Intel HEDT CPUs using MSI's MEG X299 Creation along with 32GB (4 x 8GB) of Corsair 3,466MHz DDR4 Vengeance RGB Pro memory, EK WaterBlocks, EK-MLC Phoenix 240mm liquid-cooler, and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super Founders Edition. Where possible, the same hardware, memory speed, and timings are used across all our systems to ensure the results are as comparable as possible.
