Thats what I'd do and actually will be doing with three DomGT 1GB 2000C7 sticks this week.
Test each stick individually starting at a known stable speed and see which ones can pass Superpi. You can test 32M or even less depending on the stability you want to see with each chip. 32M is tougher on the chips than to 3D and other 2D stuff.

Well you have a good point here,BUT.I had the 2200 C7 kit for SB,one friend had 2133 9-11-9 KIT for SB.It performed EXACTLY the same,scaled till 1.72V,did exactly the same main timings.So the two sets performed exactly the same.I don't know which one is being a better statement,that he got a very good kit or that i had an average 2200C7 kit,but neither of ones could do 6-9-6 32M.Too bad that i have one 2GB stick of some Exceleram that will do that,but the G.Skills were a no go.That's why i'm saying to go and bin yourself,and if you find a very good 2 sticks of 2133C9,they are fking cheap,so you actually save 200$ which you can use to buy something else,or get yourself a fine evening with a fine lady....Just saying
Another thing Steve,
Have you tried less voltage on your kit? For example 1.80v and less? Does it affect clocks and if so how much?

^ I must confess - I've really neglected my memory
I figured out that as a tripple on x58 this set liked high v.
I just used my x58 dramv on the SB.
Big assumption when going from tripple to double that it needed so much but I knew I didn't want to go higher (already at 1.88v).
Might I be able to get higher performance at lower dramv?
What about getting two sets of the Ripjaws X 2200 C7 - for current SB - use best 2 sticks, if I am lucky and all four are good - keep all four for quad memory - what is the latest name? - maybe SB-E or LGA2011? -

"Although the next picture might not look that different, if you look carefully you can make out some additional details here and more specifically the fact that the board has two DIMMs on each side of the CPU socket. The LGA-2011 platform is said to have quad channel memory support, so let's hope Intel has managed to take advantage of all the extra bandwidth on offer, but if the current LGA-1155 processors are anything to go by, it seems like Intel has managed to improve its memory bandwidth with Sandy Bridge."

First is hypers binned from 40 sticks.
Second is the gskill Flare I reccomended.
Both had quite a bit of time put in.
Basically unlike Alex's findings. I tested a crap load of ram first, once i found known good sets to work 1100+ at reasonable timings I started testing multiple cpu's.
One was a fail for memory clocks, oddly enough it was also blck challenged and could barely do 100 bclk regardless of multiplier. C7 hyper and or C6 with 2133 PSC was a non issue, higher was.....
11? I lost count were fine for 2200+, none of those were bclk challenged although some varied from 105-108 bclk.
To do accurate IMC analysis you must first start off with known good ram
Also when running higher or agressive ram speeds I found high vcore just makes things unstable.
Msimax's chip we ran 32m at only 1.48v........
Mine we ran around 1.536v

I've got no strings to hold me down.
To make me fret, or make me frown.
I had strings but now I'm free.
There are no strings on me
The first kits were BBSE ( the 8-9-8 one ), it's possible they changed chips to PSC by now. Your kit sounds like PSC indeed, can you check it?
No need to pull the heatspreader, just tell me, what do the chip look like? If they have sharp edges, it's PSC.
And what can your kit do at 800MHz?
the ic's most definitely have sharp edges, no rounding whatsoever
PSC is cheap and works well on SB. You can get a good kit for barely over $100 that will do 2200 @ 7-9-7. Tough to find that 2200 kit of 7-7-6 hyper on SB. I would look for a proven kit from someone if that is what you need.
