hmmm isnt that kingston 2000 mem micron based?
if yes then it needs more juice to get higher i think.
1.9-2.1 is usually the sweet spot for micron above that is where it stops scaling well, unles you have a really nice set of course..

1.65, and yeah, the XMP profile sets that, i run at 1.5v for 4ghz+ uclk benching seems stable enough without pushing too far.

Kingston said they're most likely Elpida though I wouldn't be surprised if it was Micron, I'm not going to risk ripping off the ICs again though. I'm convinced that R2E is the reason why these sticks aren't clocking well. I just put a patriot kit through the paces for a review and had the same limitations, only about 100mhz OC max on 1.8v where others have gotten 200+ at stock. I have put these sticks through 2.04v with no gain. tightened timings are a no go, they get 1800 at cl8 max. Hopefully I'll get to fool around with a gigabyte board soon.
