Test Setup and Methodology
For our tests, we used a completely new test rig which comprises of an ASRock Fatal1ty X99X Killer 3.1 motherboard, along with an Intel Core i7-6800K at default clock speed of 3.4GHz, as well as 32GB of ADATA DDR4-2400 ram in quad channel mode.
All tests were conducted at default clock speeds at a resolution of 1920×1080. High or Ultra settings enabled.

Aida64 Memory Test
Aida64 memory tests gave us read speed of 47,911Mb/sec, Write speed of 60,736Mb/sec and copy speed of 55,158Mb/sec
Cinebench R15
For Cinebench R15 we got a CPU score of 971cb. Not bad at all 🙂
HyperPi 32M 
Here’s our HyperPi 32M score, the system completed a full test in 13mins 01 seconds. Average time was 11mins 47 seconds.
PCMark 8
During our PCMark 8 benchmark, we managed to get a score of 4114.
Performance Test 8 – CPU Mark
My Core i7 – 6800K tops the charts here …
Performance Test 8 – Memory
Memory scores were off the roof. No complaints here.
Performance Test 8 – Disk Mark
Our Crucial MX300 – 750GB did the job nicely. Again no complaints here.
Temperatures Idle @ 3.4GHz
Temperatures Load @ 3.4GHz
The Thermaltake Pacific RL240 D5 water cooling kit along with the XSPC RayStorm Pro waterblock did a great job in cooling the CPU. Idle temps were good at 32 Degrees Celsius, while load temps reached 47 degrees Celsius.
3DMark – Time Spy (Default Settings)
Here’s our Time Spy score… 4,431. The results were as expected for a pre-overclocked Radeon RX480 from HIS, and an Intel Core i7-6800K @ 3.4Hhz. If we had a GeForce GTX 1070 or GTX 1080 … the scores will be much higher of course. Still, it’s not bad at all … and I’m pretty happy with it.
