Intel Core i7 Synthetic Benchmarks @ [H]

I am a little confused why the 920 was used with 3 channel 1066Mhz memory, or more accurately why the memory was clocked at 1066. Does it support higher frequency memory?

The 920 on the motherboard we used only supported 800MHz or 1066MHz DDR3 at stock BCLK. As BCLK scales, so does memory as memory frequency is a function of Multiplier X BCLK. At 190MHz BCLK memory was 1520MHz. (1520/190=8 multiplier) Waiting to see if other multipliers are exposed on other motherboards with RETAIL purchased processors. We are currently led to believe that 6 and 8 are the only ones exposed on the 920.

Thanks a lot. After some research (into BCLK) that now makes total sense to me.
