    @ SF3D and Saaya

    I did some reading a few months back and found a rumor that high board manufacturers could [persay] remove the CPU's responsibility to control the voltage for the RAM thus allowing people to you ethusiast level RAM on the X58 boards.
    My question, is that even possible?

    Not sure if thats truth, but DFi claims that they actually did it on their new mobo. I think it can be done, cause design of Phenoms and i7 is very similar and as you know, Phenom dont care how much voltage you put into your ram
    (tested 3V without destroying Phenom.

    Hopefully I'll have results by next weekend. I need to find a place that actually has the 1366 adapter in stock for my Ultra extreme. I'd hate to get stuck with the stock cooler. I know some that have it listed and it's OOS.
