I can vouch for this. Running 445x9 and with p1 & p2 enabled get around 12000mb/s read bandwidth, with it disabled, about 9500mb/s. The problem is getting it stable. Thought I had it... 14hrs prime stable etc but the pc kept cutting out (no BSOD or screen freeze, just a reboot) at random times - i could play games for hrs, but occasionally it would do this. Spent the last few days testing and I think its when P1 & P2 are enabled.

Problem is im already running 1.6vnb, and 2.0v on the memory so I really cant push it up any higher (im assuming anything over 2.0v isnt too clever on DDR3 for 24/7 running). If i work something out i'll let ya no. I should also have the nb on water by the end of the week, not sure if this will help!
