Our testing methods are always the same, no matter what the review. The ambient temperature is kept as close to 20°c (68°f) as possible. For this review, We tested our Team Group Vulcan Z DDR4 3200 MHz paired with the I7 9700k. Each benchmark was run three times. Usually, for gaming benchmarks, I average out the three results. However, this being a memory review, I simply went with the best results. There were 30-minute breaks in between each benchmark to give the system time to cool off a bit.
