Live Memory Test: Overclock 'Em Till They Crash

Test Procedure: Recording Bandwidth, Temperature And Voltages

While the machines were running, we determined the actual bandwidth of both memory modules using Wstream; this was evaluated live using special tools programmed by our team.

Determining the memory bandwidth using Wstream in MB/s: data is copied, moved, scaled and entered.

We also measured the temperatures of both systems using extremely sensitive equipment. We used a professional temperature measurement device from Omega: the OMB-DAQ-55.
