    Best timings to MHz ratio?

    Looking for some RAM that has tight timings (Cas 5, 6, 7, etc), but also has a high MHz. Looking for pure quickness and performance for a soup-ed up gaming rig build coming later this year (ok, ok, as soon as 4GB versions of the GTX 780 are released). I'm currently running a CAS 6 DDR3 1600 kit from Mushkin. I know that these aren't even close to the best that's out there. Help a fellow insane builder/gamer/bencher procure this most precious request.

    Just how insane? For starters:
    \Project\ Triple Surround Fury
    Case:
    Mountain Mods Ascension (modded)
    CPU: i7 920 @ 4GHz + EK Supreme HF (plate #1)
    GPU: GTX 670 3-Way SLI + XSPC Razor GTX670 water blocks
    Mobo: ASUS Rampage III Extreme + EK FB R3E water block
    RAM: 3x 2GB Mushkin Enhanced Ridgeback DDR3 @ 6-8-6-24 1T
    SSD: Crucial M4 256GB, 0309 firmware
    PSU: 2x Corsair HX1000s on separate circuits
    LCD: 3x ASUS VW266H 26" Nvidia Surround @ 6030 x 1200
    OS: Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium
    Games: AoE II: HD, BF4, MKKE, MW2 via FourDeltaOne (Domination all day!)

    Depends largely on CPU.
    For example Sandy Bridge/Ivy are more about high clocks (even if you have ram that can run extremely tight latencies)

    But AMD Phenom II / Bloomfield prefer tight timings over super high ram clocks.

    Try laxing your Mushkin kit to 6-9-6 and OC it to 1800 or so.

    Your Mushies are likely the best you are going to get for now without springing for Hypers, which for a daily gaming rig isnt worth it.
    Just do what beepbeep said, and try to OC them. They would be PCSs or BBSEs (pretty sure BBSEs), so 2k should be easy if your IMC will do it.
    If you are planning on a whole new system, then 4GB modules would be the way to go. Any of the Crucial 1.5V 4GB sticks with the black PCB would be about the best option for speed/timings. 2000+ 8-8-8 / 2200+ 9-9-9.

    OP's ram could easily do 8-11-8-28 at 2400 MHz I think.
