Performance – part 1
All tests were performed on the ASRock X570 Extreme4 motherboard. In most tests, excluding overclocking, has been used Ryzen 7 3700X processor and Ballistix Sport LT 64GB DDR4-3200 memory kit. In overclocking tests in use was also Ryzen 5 3600 and additional memory kits like Ballistix Elite 16/32GB DDR4-3600.
The used operating system was Windows 10 Pro x64 with the latest updates on the day of 08.20.2019.
Everything else will be mentioned during the tests.
Memory performance
The motherboard works great and keeps full stability using two or four memory modules. Actually, maximum overclocking results using four 16GB Ballistix Sport LT modules were the same as with two, and we were able to set DDR4-3600 CL16-17-17 1.35V. The higher clock was possible using 8GB modules, but about that, I will tell a bit later, in the overclocking section of this review.
Processor performance and mixed load tests
The CPU performance is about as high as expected. Automatic CPU settings work well, and the CPU can reach maximum turbo clock pretty often.
In PCMark 8 and 10 tests were used GTX1660Ti graphics card what may show a bit lower total score than the RTX2060 which was used in all other benchmarks. It doesn’t change the fact that results in both PCMarks are as high. The first is a result made in PCMark 10 while next are a couple of tests made in PCMark 8.
Let’s take a look at additional PCMark 8 results. All of them are high and show no issues with performance.
