    has anyone tried benchmarking their RAM past 2GHz
    i cant seem to reach high MHz but this RAM is capable

    everything else pretty much rocks with this board
    its pretty efficienct, OCs like a mofo and performance is good, stable and all

    btw i am yet to experience these cold boot startup problems that some were mentioning

    got a link in the sig from testing notes etc
