Not so good with ht on - why is ht on always so much harder?
Best stable ht on (if you can call 1 hour prime stable) is 4.3 ht on with mem at 1720, timings 7-8-8 - not so good for 2k memory.
I would take the 1720 =) with higher clocks on the cores (HT Enabled). These i7's are such effecient beasts. They really dont need huge memory clocks. Plus if you are willing to take the lower clocks, tighter memory timings may be better...which is just how you are running them =) Cuz...latency is pretty important as well. Even though these i7's dont really have an issue with latency either ROFL!!
