Another Skylake Journey !!

Mike`s running his ram in Quad channel using an E series CPU, probably why he gets a great score.

Added the Corsair ram cooler, looks cute

At 2800

Shawn, what do you get for winsat mem?

This is mine at 2400 but using 2800 timings. It could be a lot better and only 16 GB.



This is at 2800 stock timings

I get this below for 32 GB (4x8GB) G.SKILL DDR3 Quad PC3-19200 2400MHz in 64-bit Windows 10 Pro.

Nice score. I was just trying to see if there was any real difference in Sandy and Haswell E ram. It looks like not a great deal.

I think the biggest difference will be being able to use M.2 for your OS drive.

It could be this XMP profile, I`m going to do it manually.

Shawn, do you think that will make a big difference? If you can transfer data at 2.5 GB/S, it won't help unless you are transferring to another M.2. You can only transfer as fast as the receiving disk can write. As an OS drive, I'm not sure you could tell much of a difference. My response time is .1 ms now. If it was twice as fast, I doubt you would notice. If my math is right, the response time I have now is 10/1000th of a second. If you could cut it down to 3/1000 of a second, I doubt you could tell.

I had every intention of buying the Samsung 950 Pro the day it was released. I got to thinking about that and just couldn't tell it would make that big of a difference. If you are backing up to a mechanical hard drive, I can already transfer faster than the mechanical drive can write. So, what would the advantage be?

EDIT: I'm hoping you can convince me I'm wrong. But it would look good on a benchmark.

I suppose M.2 reading and writing on it's self is the advantage :/

Or just reading in general ?

Yeah, we'll need to see a real world benchmark to see if there's much difference between them. I'm hoping to have enough room to run my VMs from to make them run faster.

There is so much potential though.
