I'd like to see a comparison with pifast on both ways to judge, that should translate well to 3dmark.

Actually on 790iSLI DDR3 SYNC isn't a bad way to go anymore when you get the FSB up high 450+. It's nice to have option though if there are FSB issues you can always get the mem up to speed.
For me ultimately its about what I can do on LN2 on this chipset.
So far this chipset is looking KILLER on LN2. Havent seen any of the cold/fsb issues that I saw on 780i.
How about cpu only at 5700mhz on 790iSLI with 8800GTS's still on air and close to 29,000 2006 LOL . Check out the FSB so far on LN2..
