But my cinebench 15.038 Open GL score is consistently at 129.45 fps as opposed to my Flare-X B-die at 123 fps before I sold them off. The settings are identical. So this super binned B-die must be producing less noise interference than the Flare X B-die did at the same speed. Thanks for your tutorial. I now feel somewhat vindicated in my decision to go for this higher-binned ram.
All subtimings identical? A lot of subtimings are set by the motherboard or SPD / XMP profile if left to "AUTO" and can have quite an impact on performance. Something as simple as leaving geardown mode on vs. running 1T with it off could account for that difference. chew* I believe was talking about power delivery, that's only going to help or hurt on the edge of stability to push an overclock and should have no impact on performance
