So my new kit showed up today (overnight shipping is amazing) and I pulled the Mushkin out to give it a try.

First impressions are good, the heatsinks appear functional, the cooler is quiet and they worked right out of the box at rated timings+ speed too. With my voltage set down to around 1.55v these things seem to scream but up around 1.64v they just get stupid fast.
My first attempt's have been 1600-1680mhz 7-7-7-20 1T, 1800mhz 7-7-7-20 1T and 2000mhz 8-8-8-21 1T. I decided immediately that the XMP profile was worthless when I saw it set the ram to 2T, confirmed with Everest memory bench.
