Testing Setup
- CPU: Intel Core i7-5960x @4.0GHz
- CPU Cooler: Corsair H80i – Push/Pull
- Motherboard: MSI X99S Gaming 7
- RAM: HyperX Predator 2133MHz CL13 (16GB/4x4GB)
- PSU: Cooler Master V850 850w
- OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
Methodology:
All benchmarks are done on a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit that is fully up-to-date with Windows Updates to ensure that the performance reflects a real-world scenario and not that of a tweaked benchmarking system. Every benchmark runs for a total of three times and then an average is taken of those results.

- Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200MHz CL16 – Overclocked
- HyperX Predator 2133MHz CL13 – XMP 2.0
- HyperX Predator 2666MHz CL14 – Overclocked
Benchmarks:

I have the same memory but i didn’t got the second XML profile….
My motherboard is a Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI….
That’s very weird 🙁 – It should be fine to set it manually though, so nothing lost!
Same here, I have the exact same RAM on a ASUS z170 Deluxe and I do not get the second XMP profile. Saw others saying the same elsewhere (http://forum.corsair.com/forums/showthread.php?t=155796)
The only thing I can suggest is that Corsair have removed the 2nd profile from their later released samples. Seems strange though!
