I'm planning to purchase this RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233796
I currently operate a 5960X @ 4.625 GHz via G.Skill 3000Mhz CL15 - 16GB - working ok, but there does seem to be some instances where I'll get high latency in RAM access. So was looking at the Corsair kit above to see if it was more consistent and could achieve 3400Mhz.
Anyone using this kit with the RVE?
Cheers, Rob.

I have not but 3400mhz on any X99 is difficult to reach, 3200mhz is a better goal to shoot for, a couple of us have reached 3200 on Gskill 3000mhz kits, but it depends on which kit and if your willing to spend the time required, you may want to try the Corsair but don't be upset if you can't get it to run at rated speed
I think the CPU is, usually just a case of applying enough voltage to the appropriate settings and making sure temps are good. Even at 1.48v core under high loads I seem to peak at around 40-41 C (105 F) ... with HT OFF no problems at 4.7+ Ghz. I haven't tried just using 4 cores with HT ON at 4.8+ Ghz, but my strap is currently 125 Mhz using low end G.Skill rated for 3000Mhz at CL15.
I haven't gone above 1.48v even though I have significant temp headroom. I heard rumors that 1.5v was max before CPU failure, but that's NOT coming from Intel and I think Intel suggested the cap is 1.8v (but I don't have the link to Intel's docs, so I might be mistaken).
As I understand it the I need to run at 160+ BCLK for this RAM to work well ... my X99 chip is water cooled (as is VRM) also and is usually about 12 C lower temp than CPU under load. How much heat can the X99 take?
