I don't know what voltages I could bump to improve that. Anyways, I do remember the guys I got the RAM from saying they had to put it down to 1866 to get it through their stability test, I'm assuming they have some kind of program like memtest86.

Here is another submission;

Kyprioth | Core i7 990x [6C 6T] @ 4610.7MHz | 1.450 | ASUS Rampage III Black Edition | Water | 3045A751



There's so many runs because I had to go to work, and I needed it to still be running when I got home so I could take the screenshot with LinX still running. I assume the GFlops are low because the RAM is at 1600, but my chip isn't a sandybridge and i'm not going for the 5GHz club so it shouldn't matter if i'm below 100 for this submission.

Any tips on improving the RAM speed or timings at all? It's two triple DIMM packs of Corsair Dominator GT.
The submission looks good. Great voltage for that speed for sure.
You'll probably only be able to run up to about 1833-1866 with that much ram. It puts a large strain on the IMC of your cpu. You might have to increase QPI/DRAM voltage and DRAM voltage to get there.

Here's my current setup:

Everything you need is there. The only things HWMON mislabels is CPU PLL(I think this is really -12v), and IOH PCIE +1.5V(which is really CPU PLL).
I stuck with 4.4ghz HT on rather than going for 4.6 HT off. I'm running mixed module sizes, too. It really just seems like once you go beyond 12gb mem, you end up killing your ability to get past the mid 1800's. Populating the second sockets also makes me have to drop my uncore from 3.6 to 3.3ghz. You'll want to run with as high as possible uncore speed for maximum memory performance.
