Test Setup

We test Intel mainstream CPUs using MSI's MEG Z390 Ace along with 16GB (2 x 8GB) of Corsair 3,466MHz DDR4 Vengeance memory, EKWB Phoenix MLC-240 liquid-cooler, and an Nvidia RTX 2070 Super graphics card. Where possible, the same hardware, memory speed, and timings are used across all our systems to ensure the results are as comparable as possible.
