It sucks that most of the sb memory that is good for benching is oos everywhere, but see if you can find any of the 2133 8-9-8 or 7-10-7 kits (or 2200 version) then jump on them and you will be one happy camper.

As for finding a good cpu, man that has been a lot of work since january but it is pure luck and eventually you will find a good one. What exactly are you looking for in a chip? stable 24/7 clocks or a bencher?
Thank you for understanding. It is nice to see someone knows what i am talking about. Like i said it was more my chip then anything and i know the elpida ics wasn't helping. So i will either trade that ram and do a combo on my x58 r3e perhaps. Since they do so well on it. And move forward from there. Thanks
