X58 Extreme with F6 BIOS
i7 920 (D0 stepping)
3x2gb G.Skill DDR3 20000 (F3-16000CL9T-6GBTD)
2x 4870HD 512mb Crossfire
1.5TB 7200.11
800watt OCZ PS (80amps on 12v rail I think)
WC for CPU/GPUs/NB
I have been struggling to get my system to 200MHz FSB and 2000MHz DRAM speed and 4000GHz CPU speed.
I've realized that the memory controller in the i7 chip has more to do with the mem speed than the MB... G.Skill is basically saying that their RAM does 2000MHz if the CPU FSB is at 143.. basically 14:1 ratio.. This would be fine if I was using an unlocked chip.
My question is what is the highest mem speed that I can get with the x58 Extreme - and which 3x2gb kits are known to reliably work at that speed with the MB?
