On a related note, this set of GSkill Ripjaws DDR3-2000 9-9-9-27 from my X58 rig is rocking at 2333MHz! Am going to see how far I can push it; pretty cool for a set that's two years old.
hahah thats why its called RAW MHZ:

'And when just chasing the maximum DRAM frequency without care for latency, load up RAW MHz profile. You can also use it to first find out the limit of your CPU’s IMC and then tighten up the set timings from there.'
