For the test platform, we went with the Intel 8700K on the Asus Maximus X Formula with Corsair Vengeance running at 3200MHz CL 15 for the Intel side. For AMD we are running the RYZEN 2600 and the Crosshair VII HERO WiFi with all of the other components carrying over for platform continuity. We are running a Thermaltake Triple Radiator cooling solution on the CPU to make sure we don’t get any throttling on the CPU. The operating system is Windows 10 Pro X64 with updates disabled. We make three runs at each test then average those three runs and report the results here. If we hit a run that we consider being far away from the norm we dismiss that result and run a 4th test. The 8700K used for this comparison has NOT been delidded as that would provide quite an unfair advantage as most users will not perform this on their rig if they will just be gaming.
