Once again, very nice memory review and very nice clocks with that memory! What do you think the performance difference would be with 7-3-3-2.5 timings at 270mhz and 8-4-4-3 timings also at 270 or 275 mhz? Even noticeable? Just curious

I don't think there would have been a noticeable difference, but increasing it that little amount would probably require me to lower my cpu multi, yet again, thus lowering the cpu speed drastically.

Well, I was really just sorta speaking in general terms, not necessarily about the Corsair Xpert stuff in your review.
Thanks though

I know, im just giving you an example. I'm not sure what your exact situation is, but depending on your system, speed vs timings makes a difference.

5mhz x 4 = 20 mhz difference, you won't notice a substantial increase in speed, but if you loosen the timings that much on an amd system you may feel laggyish.

Amd's <3 tight timings, while Intel's yearn for unlimited speeeeed.
