I've got that result while beta-testing 790i, it is attached. There is nothing to be proud of though, such as those results suck (BIOS P03 without P1 and P2).
I haven't tried 2000Mhz on Foxconn yet, I prefer linked mode and without water-cooling of NB can't get FSB high enough. As soon as I will receive my NB WC stuff, then I will do it, of course.
I don't want to argue which memory kit is better, may be Cellshock. IMO there are two memory sets on the market, which can satisfy/used by extreme overclockers, and those are Cellshock DDR3-1866 blue and Corsair Dominator DDR3-1800C7, period.
Those are so close in results, someone needs to perform serious tests with statistical evaluation to find out which set is definitely better.
8-7-6-16 IMO is an incorrect setting, such as:
"the general rule of thumb is to set a tRAS equal to your CAS + tRCD + 2 (or higher). that way you're not corrupting data in memory by only partially reading/writing it" it means min for 8+7=15+2=17, I think it makes sense at 2000MHz ...
Actually I have purchased the Dominator kit seeng 3oh6's result (also attached) and I never regret about it, this set replaced Corsair Ballistix DDR3-2000 set, which was worse.
I got it from ZipZoomfly, it is like $400 with mail rebate, and at the time I got it it was impossible to find Cellshock DDR3-1866 anywhere.
BTW 2.0V voltage is not a "bump", it is in the specification for Corsair kit, 7-7-7-20@1800MHz@2V.
