Now let’s compare our configurations with the CPU and memory overclocked. Every mainboard had the same overclocking results: 4.5 GHz for the CPU and 2133 MHz for the memory modules (with timings of 9-11-11-31-2N).
Here’s an example of how the standings may change between default and overclocked modes. The ASRock Z87 Extreme4 isn’t the absolute leader anymore. The mainboards are much closer to each other in every benchmark, except for WinRAR. So even though ASRock is often in the third position, it is not far behind the ASUS Z87-K. The Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H wins most of the tests here.
