Considering it's an Ivy Bridge, you should try pushing the RAM a bit higher. Not quite sure what that kit will run, but I know most Ivy chips will run at least 2400 provided the RAM itself can run that speed.

This is the kit right here:
Mushkin Enhanced Redline 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DD...
I got it because of the combination of speed, latency, and size (I run a lot of VM's)
I typically don't push my RAM too far because it usually doesn't seem to make a huge difference, I prefer to get something with XMP, high speed and good timings and let the mfg. settings do the work.
On a side note, the heatsinks on these things are built like a friggin tank and i'm sure I could push it pretty far, if I take my FSB up to 107-108 do you think they would handle ~2000mhz? I've already got them at 1.55v for some OC headroom.
Thanks for your input by the way.

While higher RAM speed won't show much performance gain in real-world applications, SuperPI does see a bit of an improvement.
As far as adjusting you BClk that high, I wouldn't recommend it. Your SATA and PCIe might get a bit wonky. Can't you raise the RAM divider to 2133?
I could indeed, what timings would you recommend at that point? 10-10-10-30?
Also I typically lock my sata and PCI lanes when I adjust the BClk, although i'm at 103 right now and haven't since it seems to be running fine.

103 is fine, 104 will start to get flakey. many board run 103 through auto-OC, but few go beyond that.
Whatever happened to the motherboards that were SUPPOSED to run at very high clocks? Did that go by the wayside as unlocked processors became more mainstream?

NO, it's the architecture's design. Everything runs off of the same base clock, 100 MHz, since most of northbridge functions are now on CPU silicon(PCIe, IMC, iGPU, etc). So when you clock one up, the others move as well.
Rumour has it that Haswell will remedy this for Intel.
SB-E chips clock BCLK fairly well, but not much more than 133 or so avg, while on AMD, things are still just as they used to be, since they still use AM3 socket.
I'll be covering many AMD boards soon. MANY.
"unlocked" chips are out to offset this functionality that is missing, actually, not that the prevalence of unlocked chips caused them to do it this way. Other way around from what you said.![]()
