The Corsair starting giving me trouble at 8GB with the CAS at 7. I backed off to normal 1333/1066 settings until I get around to tweaking by hand to 9 as Corsair recommended. I have 2GB more 2000MHz Crucial Ballistix on the way for Monday so we'll probably WorldBench with 4GB of that. Nobody said life on the bleeding edge would be easy.
The SaS box is here, but I won't get it up and running until Saturday. Hopefully, the Adaptec 5445 will play nice with the rest of the BIOS. I'm going to put the UV in tomorrow as well so I have something new to look at. After that, it's time to seal up the case. I'll be breaking out the speakers to check the surround setup as well. Pics of that on the morrow late'ish.
TGIF

Jon I have also heard that OCZ Platinum is available at DDR3 1600 & 2GB modules (http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memory/ocz_ddr3_pc3_12800_platinum_dual_channel_enhanced_bandwidth_edition)
"At 1600MHz, the PC2-12800 EB edition is rated for 7-6-6 timings.."
But I think even if you just stick with the 4GB DDR3 2000 that would be pretty 'dreamy' too! (but if/when I win Ill toss in 8GB heheh)
