Just put in my ballistix 667 cas3 2.1v. These should be similar to the 10th anni's? May not be as "handpicked" but otherwise, should be similar. They're double sided so not the higher density ic's in the newgen ballistix. That said, I've just retired my old fav: buffalo firestix pc2-8000. The d9gkx treated me well, but it's been downhill ever since I owned them mid-last year. I've ran them with pretty much 2.06v the entire time, and they slowly degradated. At first, they'd do 500 4-4-4 2.06v tight subtimings. Then it required more voltage, so I settled for 450 4-4-4 2.06v. It did that fine, but now has loads of trouble booting up at stock. Or rather, on the dfi p965, stock is at 1.9v, so it even has trouble with that. Finally got tired of using booster sticks to get it going, so I threw in these cheap crucials, which I imagine are gmh.
Haven't really tested much yet, and don't intend on pushing hard for a while until I get my ip35e back from rma. But they are doing 450 5-5-5 2.06v fine at the moment (didn't think it'd have trouble, but nontheless)

edit: should note that I've always had either a 120mm blowing, the ocz cooler, or a generic house boxfan blowing into the chassis. I've got a thermistor in the middle of one of the sticks, and readings never exceed the low 40's. That said, since they're only touching the heatspreaders and not the actual ic, actual temps are a bit higher, but still better than the 60's I see if I don't have cooling to the ram. Wonder if I'll ever have a pair of d9gmh/gkx that'll stand the test of time with 2.06v...
edit2: dropped timings down to 4-4-4-10 tight subtimings like before with the gkx and still 2.06v and it's run 15 test5's so far. Looks like a winner to me
