    tRCD 9 is the stock timing, maybe with some increase in voltage it's possible to get it down to 7 or maybe even 6? Of course not at 2000 but maybe 6 or 7 is possible at ~1800? I would love to try a set.

    Thank you guys for your replies,

    I will return my feedback when they arrive since you show some interest... My hopes are 1800 6-6-6-18-24 1T, with GT's I have them 1.70V stable for 24/7, so if they perform similar for less price, I'll be happy or if they suck I'll get rid of them

    this G.skill sticks are low voltage but if you let it in default in Crosshair III
    it uses very high vdim i've even seen 1,78v at 1600MHz 7-8-7-24 2T
    default Rated.I would not recomend this sticks even tough ocing 790FX & Eco series, you can expect everything but do not expect greater frequencies
    than 1800MHz and do not expect low voltages as they claim at least not

    I've got no strings to hold me down.
    To make me fret, or make me frown.
    I had strings but now I'm free.

    Damn, first default boot and something is bothering me already

    Check out xmp profile -> 6-10-6-25 1T I have one spare i5 and i7 to test them properly, is this false advertising (6-9-6-24 2T ) or what? Should I return them if they can't run advertised timings with Intel?

    I say just lock it in and test however I would not expect miracles on AMD, if gskill thought they would do well on amd platform I'd likely have a set.
