Overclocking on the Z690 DARK
Now let’s get to the heart of the matter, namely the performance of this memory kit. On one hand we have a quite powerful XMP. And on the other hand a very good overclocking potential. In this test, the tests on all the cores were carried out on the 1.15 bios and the tests on the Pcore alone on the 2.04 bios. The dark 2.04 bios is the best for the OC RAM, but shows a malfunction on the ring when the Ecores are active.
Overclocking on Geekbench 3 / Aida 64
So we start with Geekbench 3 with the Pcore and Ecore active, in a configuration at 5.2 GHz on the Pcore, 4.1 GHz on the Ecore and 4.4 GHz on the cache. Here we managed to reach a benchmarkable maximum of 7000 Mt/s CL32.
And here is a screenshot of the best score obtained with the active Ecore.
Then we continue with the CPU only in Pcore configuration, the CPU is at 5.2 GHz and the cache at 5GHz. Starting from the best performing memory profile of the previous table, we reached 7400 Mt/s CL32. But it is impossible to pass the 7400 Mt/s mark on this example.
And here is a screenshot of the best score without Ecore.
