File Compression & Encryption:

Website: WinRAR



Again both the G.Skills hit the top of the tables here - the GT1s nose ahead by a few seconds on average between large and small file compression because of their high clock speeds. On the nForce 790i Ultra SLI board though the Corsair is, on average, some way down the table in all its results for both large and small file compression. Both the G.Skill kits are slightly faster by at least a few seconds.



On the Intel X48 board things are again very closely matched, but this time the overclocked GT1s are near the bottom, and even turn out a seconds slower on average than the Corsair at its stock speeds in large file compression. In contrast, the G.Skill Pis are at the top of the table, but the general gist of things is that lower latency is just as preferred over high clock speeds here but doesn't guarantee a fast result in WinRAR.
