For our Core i7 system we’ve brought nothing but the best to the table, and today we’ll be taking a closer look at our RAM selection; what is currently the fastest triple channel kit available, with some of the sexiest heatspreaders ever *drool*. In this review we’ll put Kingston’s flagship kit to the test. We’ll take a look at what promises to be amazing bandwidth even at stock, a quick peek at its overclocking ability, and finally see just how far this kit can take our Core i7 monster in SuperPi 32M benchmark (even though we still just have stock cooling: hurry up Noctua!)

Not only that, but the chip achieved an astounding 5.7Ghz under a -100*C cascade.  This achievement was done at the home of Xtreme Systems owner Charles Wirth (FUGGER).   Granted these cpus were handpicked and delivered by none other than Intel’s very own engineer Francois Piednoel.  They were chosen for their superior overclocking quality.  This is absolutely insane considering most retail chips top out well under 5Ghz.  Intel arranged this meeting to gain insight on how to release a new stepping for Core i7 cpu’s so they overclock better under low temp/high voltage conditions (i.e. Phase Change, Dry Ice or LN2).  Lets hope this meeting is a success…  5.7Ghz+ Core i7’s FTW!
