Built on Intel's highly efficient Core micro-architecture, the i7 975 Extreme runs at 3.33GHz and has 8MB of SmartCache. It provides the performance MAX-IT needs for testing all hardware and software.

Designed specifically for the Intel Core i7 platform, the X-series is the perfect choice for overclockers who want extreme performance. With 8-8-8-24 timings, these modules are perfect for enthusiasts and gamers.

For storage, A-Data's SX95 series of Solid State Disks (SSDs) provide the extreme performance needed by MAX-IT's testbed system. These SSDs will outperform any magnetic media-based drives, eliminating any bottlenecks.

If a CPU is the heart of a PC, then a graphics card is like the blood racing through your veins. Though a bit dated, NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 280 is still one of the better cards out on the market and is currently part of our testbed setup.

For any motherboards that run on dual channel, we have Corsair's Dominator DDR3 dual kit. Each memory module here runs at a clockspeed of 1,600MHz and has a timing of 8-8-8-24.

The AcBel R8 800 provides 750 watts to empower all the components of the MAX-IT testbed.
