Would "Corsair Dominator 32 GB DDR3 1600MHz Quad 4x 8GB XMS3 DHX CL10-10-10-27" be good for speeds around 2100 MHz, or should I try finding some kit rated higher?

My 3960x is 100% stabil at 5.1Ghz, but I cant even boot with 5.2:(?=
not even with 2 cores on only.
What is worng?
So back to memory.
Just checking prices, and on newegg.com, if you buy a G.Skill Ripjaws Z 32GB kit, it will be $1499 for a 4x 8GB, while the 8x 4GB costs $329.
These kits are both rated at 2133 MHz.
So I come back to my original question, what difference will it make for overclocking/stability that you use all 8 memory slots as compared to using 4?
Remember that with SB-E you can overclock the memory independently from the cpu. I have my 3930k runing at 4.6 and my memory is a stock 1600. System is 100% stable. I wanted a 32GB kit but with option of upgrading to 64 later. Rather then spend 1500$ for 4x8@2133 I spent 300$ for 4x8@1600. The only real difference would be when benching. For games and typical apps you wouldn't really see a difference.
Actually what you are seeing is not at all uncommon. The "wall"on these SB-E chips is pretty firm....especially for those with only basic water cooling.
Are you cooling sub ambient??
What I tend to see around the net is that voltage and VRM temps come into play long before CPU temps if you have good cooling.
Some folks have found thy can break throught the wall running a hgher strap and lower mutliplier. Have you tried that?
I'm officially frozen by the draft of these fans! Achieved 5.4Ghz on air tonight (63% OC) so I could enter the Asus UK masters tournament. It won't be enough to be in the top 12 I don't think but it's worth a shot. If it stops snowing tomorrow I'll maybe setup a table and try and do some runs outside. I should have done it on Friday when it got down to ~-8c

Going to turn the 190CFM deltas off for the night and go to bed now where I'l be snug n' away from these cold drafts!!! :rofl:
Which bios for C2?
Thanks
How do you enable Trim or whatever it is called with these boards that makes SSD working near new state again? i am getting some serious slow down with my C: SSD.
Open an elevated command prompt and type:
fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify
Result:
disabledeletenotify = 0 (TRIM Enabled)
disabledeletenotify = 1 (TRIM disabled)
(It's on by default with Windows 7 install. You must use a compatible controller (usually Intel) with the default Ms AHCI driver or Intel RST with a single drive in AHCI or RAID mode.
Enable TRIM:
fsutil behavior set disabledeletenotify 0
Disable TRIM:
fsutil behavior set disabledeletenotify 1
anyone has raid screen oversized booting with HD7970?
i'm on 7970 trifire.
try a 119 bclk. and use 1.86 PLL and 1.27 Vccio and VTT
I broke through the air and liquid barrier using those settings. I was stuck at 5.1ghz and got to 5.3 almost 5.4 at 1.57v with these settings.
Also, The Wall is actually Air/Liquid related.. If you have phase you will get over it easily. Its a funny wall because it doesnt seem to be heat related. At leat all the chips I have tested were this way.
Trying to figure out wheter I want to get one of these or wait for newer IB mobos to come out. At best, I am hoping for this board but with a revision or something.
Oddly enough, here in Canada it hasn't even gotten to minus 8 in a while. There is barely a few centimetres of snow and it has been sunny the past few weeks, I'm loving this global warming :o
Did try extreme preset low in bios and the board won't post. All fans turned on, no monitor signal and debug led is off, Q led cpu solid red also voltminder led at pch 1.5 and cpu vsa on solid green:(
Not even freez it yet...

Neweeg is oos, just bought another RIVE+BF3
Hey guys
I havent uppgraded since I bought the Rampage II extreme ages ago. I just got this awesome board but it felt like I had to re learn a few things. Anyway, here are a few screenies of what I have come up with so far. Nothing extreme like you guys but pretty decent for 24/7 I think.

@electricl: Welcome to the club! Very nice for 24/7 setup – ideal combination of performance/power ratio.
