I skipped the default test, directly go to lower the timings at DDR3 1600 speed with max. VDimm 1.65V, then Try increase the freq. with suitable relaxation of timings and with Max. Vdimm 1.65V. MemtestPro, Everest are used for this test.
Test 1: @ DDR3 1600

with increase of freq. to DDR3 2000 and so does the uncore speed, bandwidth and latency is improved.
PROS:
1) AT 1.65V, you can choose 1600C7 or 2000C9, overclockability is quite good for 4G module
2) The modules are just warm when full loading
3) Flexibility for users to upgrade
CONS:
1) 4G module still expensive nowaday
2) Some X58 users may expect Tri-channel Kit to come
