I dont think 1300 mhz is a fluke...

I now have a second set of ram here, doing 1333 mhz...
I've tested every inch of this board that I could to find any bug I could, and the results are predictable, repeatable, and stable.

1300 + appears to be really really easy with this board, if you have some high quality ram for it.

I think its the independent ICS for the ram that makes this possible.
