G.Skill sent out this press release, and the prizes are too good not to share. It seems they have dug in their closets and found some ultra rare PSC kits that everyone should REALLY WANT!

I find it slightly funny that G.Skill views the Trident X to be better ram and only give it to first and second, while they give what most overclockers view to be better ram, to the first through third.

If those Pi's are a good bin, they would easily run 2800 8-12-8 at low voltages, or 2600 7-11-7 at similarly low voltages. When you freeze those chips and really crank the voltages, you probably won't be setting any max frequency records, but you'll be 2600 with cas 6 and 2800 with cas 7, both with tight subs. That is quite impressive. I'm tickled pink to have a set which can do 2600 7-11-7 at 1.9v. I might kill for one of those sets. :drool:
 
Depends what are you considering low voltages. I haven't seen any PSC running @2800 below 1.85V and all these 2600+ CL6/7 are rather sub 0 results. Many PSC don't like higher voltages than ~1.82-1.85V at ambient temps but this voltage is enough to make something like 2400 7-11-7. At least these PI kits should easily make 2400-2500 7-11-7.
 
Those Pi memory should do 2666-2700Mhz 8-12-8-28 tRFC 88 tWCL6 ,tight subs@ 1.93v on air.On cold they should do 2666-2700Mhz 6-10-6-24 tRFC 64 tWCL6 and tight subs @ 2.1v+ may do more but it will come down to the overclocker and how well he can overclock memory on ln2.The motherboard of choice is a big factor too. :thup:

This is on Haswell results,ivy is a bit less
