Those are some very nice clocks man!

Nice to see 12GB getting so high as well, impressive!

Mushkin always rocks!

Nice stiff. Maybe BBSE chips??

IC close ups?

westmere 1050 mems + uncore 4100 on air? wow

A3G-A again. :)

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Price of those babs? Have you get a climax when touching those heatskins?

these PSC-ICs 5 A3G-A,are they same IC's as the g.skill DDR3-2200 cl7's? since the 2200's are 3 A3G-A

It's PSC, it's the same chip that's used on G.Skill Eco and PIS, and probably Corsair GTX1 as well. My guess is this will be the next best thing when Hyper is gone, it just can't run tight tRCD, hence the spec of tRCD = tCL + 2.

Most likely the same chip but different binning. ( not sure about this. )

yeah PSC shame about tRCD but thanks Fitseries3 for sharing your results, was wondering how these faired as in OZ Gskill 6-8-6-x have started to show up too but still pricey over here.

So has Elpida EOL'd BASE and BBSE or what???

There is still a chip with the code BASE but EDJ1108BASE a.k.a. MNH-E or MGH-E is EOL, it's now listed in Elpida's DDR3 EOL lineup.

I wondered about more voltz.. but considering you have B0.. no, dont try that. :D

the cpu itself i have gotten to 4.8ghz on air but i didnt want to push any more because that was 1.42v vtt and 1.45v vcore

that memory is very speed ..
congrats

Thanks for the excellent review and Noctua NH-D14 clearance picture.

I just ordered this Mushkin Ridgeback 998826 kit for $220 (after $25 rebate and with a 2GB USB flash drive) from NewEgg:
