Legit Reviews Benchmark Results: At stock speeds, the ASUS Prime Z270-A and the Intel i7-7700K was receiving between a 5% and 9% performance boost over the previous generation ASUS Sabertooth Z170 S and Intel i7-6700K combination. That’s not a bad start to a new motherboard and processor combination. Once we overclocked the system, with a quick overclock, we were able to gain an additional 5% – 12% performance in the benchmarks.
