 "Having to test modules rated for 1000 MHz (2000 MHz effective) presents some unique
challenges. First of all, you need a board that can push 1000 MHz+ on the
northbridge. Second, you need a chip that can run speeds of 500+ MHz to run 1:1 when
testing. Well, we have the next best thing. Since my poor Q9450 just won't let me
play in the 500 MHZ range, I had to look at the alternatives. The modules are
designed to run on an nVidia 790i SLI chipset based motherboard, so thats what I
did. Because of FSB holes, or a poor divider, I was not able to gain any speed over
2000 MHz at the rated latencies of 9-9-9-24. So instead of going higher, I decided
to try and see how tight I could run the latencies. 2000 MHz at the stock volts of
1.9 to 2.0 volts and 9-9-9-24 was a cake walk..." ~overclockersclub.com
