I've been noticing some ok'ish looking 8gig sticks out there recently.
Perhaps in the few months it may be worth getting those instead of the 4gig sticks, just maybe, not sure :|.
If you need more than 4x4gb you need a server :lol:
You will not get anything else this good and this cheap for a while, certainly not in 8gb sticks. If you do want to look into 8gb though crucial have some ballistix with the same part number, voltage and timings as the 4gb sticks everyone is drooling over in the crucial thread. You could buy 6 kits of this for the same price as a single kit of 2x8gb crucial though...see what I mean about those prices? You better make damn sure you need more than 16gb before you go for 8gb sticks.
do you see a bonus in bandwidth scores running 4x4GB on an ivy platform as opposed to 2x4GB?
ivy's set up for dual channel so i wouldnt see anything as a bonus running 4 sticks for benching as opposed to two.
i dont need 16gb of ram, unless im going to see a bandwidth boost for benchmarking.
I got the kit to run stable at 2800MHz, dont have pictures, but please DO try these settings:
11-12-12-21-1T @1.72V
or
11-12-12-28-1T @1.73V
These worked and posted and booted Win7 fine. let me bench anything I threw at it (considering the CPU was not OC'd too much).
please try these and let me know if they work for you.
here last version of memtweakit rouvio just in case you need it

This might be crazzy but has anyone tried this ram on X58 in tripple channel? I would really love to get some of this ram but I dont want to waste my money if it is not going to work on X58 or be any better then the ram I am using currently that is in my X58A-OC board.
With X58 having 6 dimm slots, 4GB doesnt make much sense to me since you can run six sticks of BBSE/Hypers or something that would be better then any 4GB dimms, and still give you more ram then you need. I got 6x2GB of MNH-E Hypers on ebay for $100 shipped the other day.
I was look at the 8gb kit and I would buy 2 kits for a total of 16gb. I would only use 3 sticks for triple channel and save the 4th stick for later upgrade to a newer chipset.
If you need more then 6GB, just go to 12GB using 2GB dimms.
AFAIK, 1366 cant really get the ram up that high in speed for daily use anyway without a ton of volts, so if you were to go 4GB dimms, the Crucials would be better since they run tighter timings.
But if I were you, Id just go 12GB (if you have a need for more then 6GB).

It is SO hot right now outside - 3:25AM and 70 degrees.
With these settings I could only have Windows 7 picture - NO BENCHES were even possible with these outrageous temperatures outside.
Will take care of this issue, and will cool the computer better, and as promised (and claimed), will provide 2800MHz+ benchmarks. ;)
*EDIT
In the provided picture the CPUV is high considering the not so much extreme OC.
I over volted just to be sure it'll boot.
normally, same memory settings will work on multiplier of X52 (3770K @ 5200GHz).
my pleasure I can help few XS buddies my friend!
if it wont POST - go as high as 1.75V with PROPER AIR/WATER COOLING (not sub-zero).
I use the excellent DOMINATOR GT dual fan cooler.
Try dual channel, you may be surprised ;). It clocks higher (or you can try tighter timings) than triple. You have to muck around finding the "best" 2 slots out of the three though (usually 0/2 + 1/3). Kinda like x79 being better triple channel than quad... The extra channel is there for more bandwidth at intel rated speeds, its not always better when you push high mhz. I only discovered this when reading the x79 posts and having 4 x 2gb with one spare decided to play around, gained extra uncore mhz and mem mhz running 2+2 compared to triple.
Out of curiosity, has anyone else seen BCH9 chips out there? My work place just got a batch of RAM for upgrades and it's Samsung BCH9 where previously we got HCH9.
Mother ...of ...god.
When I created this thread, I never thought that it would see anywhere near 2800MHz, you guys rock!
pretty incredible stuff.
