G.SKILL Flare X Series 16GB DDR4 3200MHz AMD Memory Kit Review

By Nathan Kirsch May 2, 2017

AMD Ryzen 5 1600X Test Platform

The AMD AM4 platform that we used to test the Ryzen 5 1600X was run on the MSI X370 Xpower Gaming Titanium motherboard with UEFI 1.50.

You can see the HWiNFO64 details for each platform below:

The processor was run at stock settings. The Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 memory kits were run at 14-14-14-28 memory timings at all clock speeds. We used an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 8GB Founders Edition with GeForce 378.78 WHQL drivers. We also used the Corsair AX860i digital power supply, Corsair Hydro Series H110i water cooler and Corsair Force MP500 480GB PCIe SSD on the system.
