There are no deep thoughts, I am not Jack Handy. But after having this memory for the last month, I am thoroughly impressed. This is my first kit of top binned Elpida Hyper and you know what they say…you never forget your first. I have been working with a PC3-15000 kit of Corsair Dominator-GTs which are also Elpida Hyper, but not their top bin…it shows. The difference between these two are not going to be seen by everyday use, but in SPi 32M, it is a night and day difference.

The most amazing thing is the ability of this dog meat 920 IMC to clock this memory this high. On air, this 920 cannot run 8×32M SPi with memory at 1000MHz 7-8-7…it just can’t do it. Drop in my 965 and it plows through blind folded. Single 32M SPi is obviously quite a bit less load, and the CPU was under a single stage, but I was sure the 920 would gas out early anyway. If the i7 920 did run out of steam, then this kit is even further beyond all my expectations of it. You see everyone else running around with 1100MHz 7-8-7 sticks, but you never believe it will be you until it happens.
