Received a new triple channel memory kit from folks at Gskill - 6GB Gskill Trident F3-16000CL9T-6GBTD. The Gskill Trident F3-16000CL9T-6GBTD is supposedly using Elpida BBSE memory ICs, while not as capable as Elpida Hyper 50mm ICs for >DDR3-2000Mhz 7-8-7-x speeds, they still hold their own for...
I was bored so thought I'd pair 6GB Corsair Dominator GT (Elpida Hyper) memory with 6GB OCZ Platinum 1333 Animal series (Micron 2000C9 binned) for some 12GB overclocking fun :D

With 6GB Corsair Dominator GT 2000 7-8-7-20 kit of memory I never got to try looser 8-9-8-x timings much with DFI UT X58-T3EH8. So now on Asus P6T6 WS Revolution, will try 8-9-8-22 2T timings as welll as 7-8-7-20 1T timings to see how much further I can push memory for Super Pi 32M stability...
