System Overview & Testing
We installed the Crucial DDR5-4800 in our Z690 test system which is made up of the following components.

Taking a look at CPU-Z we can see this memory is running at its XMP profile, operating at 3600 MHz with timings of 40-39-39-77 at 1.1V.
For testing we will run the memory at its stock or XMP profile settings using the below benchmarking software. Below is a list of benchmarking software that we use.
– SiSoftware Overall Benchmark
– SiSoftware Sandra Memory Bandwidth Benchmark
– AIDA64 Cache & Memory Benchmark
– Cinebench R23
– 3DMark Fire Strike
– 3DMark Time Spy
Sadly since this is our first DDR5 kit we do not have anything to compare this kit to. Now let’s get to testing!
