That will only help in memory benchmarking if that is what you are going for, there will be no noticeable speed improvement in programs.

You might get 1-2 FPS in games and no change in loading times.

I'd be surprised if you got that much out of games, really.
10-10-10 timings are terrible.

@maTvey , maybe try to oc your ram as 1600 7-7-7 should make 2000 ~9-9-9 or at least 1800 that will be still faster than 2000 9-10-9/10-10-10 ( unless you have weird Qimonda chips like I had in OCZ ). Not that you will see any noticable difference in performance but maybe you will feel better
If I remember it good then most tests/games on X58 were acting more like 1600 7-7-7 = 1800 8-8-8 = 2000 9-9-9. 2000 9-10-9 can beat 1600 7-7-7 only in max bandwidth tests.
