Exploring RAID 0 on the SB750 Chipset

The strength of the recently crowned single-GPU king will be put to test. Then, we will explore the possibilities once the shackles of CCC’s clock limitations are removed and a little extra voltage is added to the mix.

Today we’ll have a look at the ASUS 970 Pro Gaming/Aura AM3+ motherboard. It’s been quite some time since we’ve seen anything new in the AMD camp and change is always welcome. The 970 Chipset isn’t new but ASUS has come back with a nice set of features to update this platform. On top of that they’ve packaged them in a very nice looking, all new board. With the new AMD socket nearly a year away, it’s nice to see some new AM3+ motherboards with added features such as USB 3.1 and M.2 SSD functionality. One other interesting tidbit is the new Aura feature which allows the user to customize color and rhythm of the on-board RGB LEDs. For those who enjoy a bit of bling, this should be right up your alley.

Today we’ll have a close look at the ASRock RX 5600 XT Phantom Gaming, this is the D3 edition with 14 Gbps memory and a 1750 MHz boost clock.
