wait till you get a kit of RAM than can handle tighter tRFC

that's a great time mate
really great

fingers crossed this new kit i'm getting will do some decent 7-6-x-x timings past 2GHz
thanks buddy and yes you were absolutely correct, thanks for your thread convincing me of taking a chance on this board. it will be doing what it was meant to do in a short while (mmm 3D benching) but it also holds its own in 32M SPi.

also, this kit will absolutely not do <65 tRFC at this frequency...at 1050MHz i got it to run 64 tRFC but 63 was a no-go. my other kit of Dominator 14400s didn't like tight tRFC in the Maximus Extreme either so i don't have high hopes for them on the 790i. my G.Skills were a bit better so if they clock like these Dom sticks then the G.Skills should pull this time down a bit more. speaking of which, before i could even finish my last post, the deed was done. 790i owns one of the top spots in the 32M challenge
