Burning with the original specification seems very boring, I directly jump to play with DDR3 2400 CL8 Memtest, directly boot into windows @ DDR3 2400 CL8 without any problem :D
Except CL8-11-8 & 1T, other I set it to AUTO in BIOS, fine tune will be needed if you want to have higher bandwidth, in my test, I want to max-out the freq. first ;)
Memtest @ DDR3 2400 CL8-11-8-31-134-1T @1.68V Memtest 300% Passed, Everest Bandwidth = 20105MB/s

Memtest @ DDR3 2400 CL8-11-8-31-134-1T @ 1.68V 1000% Passed

Running 3D without problem, simple test by 3DVantage:

And then, directly boot into windows ~ DDR3 2500 @ 1.74V and push to highest freq. @ CL8-11-8, 1T
Everest Bandwidth = 21475 MB/s

Comparsion of DDR CL6-9-6-24-72-1T VS CL8-11-8-31-134-1T for SPI 32M performance

Obviously, with very loose Trfc & TRas, DDR3 2400 CL8-11-8-31-134 still lead DDR3 2000 CL6-9-6-24.
After no stock of Hyper Chips Ram, seems PSC chips is worth to play as the better price and durability unless you are going for extreme benchmarking.
I can't remember I lost how many 3-channel Hyper Ram, still have 2 sets in RMA, but told me no more Hyper for replacement :(
Price in Hong Kong is very nice, just HK$1400 ~ US$180 :up:
6GB kit still has no stock, once I got it I will test it in X58. Thanks for reading! :)
