Motherboard: ASUS A88XM-Plus
Memory: G.SKILL RIPJAWS X 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 2133MHz
CPU: AMD Athlon X4 880K FM2+ "Godavari" CPU (Quad Core, 4.0 GHz, 95W, Quiet Cooler)
GPU: nVidia 750 Ti


Basically, I built a spare PC for my girlfriend as I had a few spare parts laying around (The RAM, the GPU). She wanted it for basically playing SIMS 4 & Trackmania.

I did benchmarks (as you do) and I get really poor speeds.

Before I get any further, I've also tried it with:

Motherboard: Gigabyte F2A68HM-HD2
CPU: AMD A10 7860K FM2+ "Godavari" CPU (Quad Core, 3.6 GHz, AMD Radeon R7 757 MHz, 65 W)

Same result occured (I've sent those two I just wrote back to Amazon now).


Anyway; the result I got in userbenchmark's are as follows:

14.2 GB/s Multicore
9.57 GB/s Single core
90.3 ns Latency

Now this is poor obviously, so I tried my Kingston RAM in there and the same thing happened.. so I'm guessing its an issue with AMD and Memory but; does anyone here have any experience with this or know why?

I enabled D.O.C.P obviously (XMP) - but it doesn't get any better than this.. so hopefully someone can help -- it has been driving me up the wall :)

Thanks
