Anyone running DDR3-2400?

It's starting to get out there and it's pretty reasonable. What are you seeing? Looks like possible huge overclocking headroom.

Only Ivy supports it, doesn it? I think Sandy only goes up to 2133 on memory multipliers.

But memory speed is perhaps the most useless thing for systemspeed

What would the purpose though?

OP - you can't get that high on your P8P67 - roughly 2133 max.
Your going have to go z77 to take advantage of that speed.

People will say memory speed doesn't speed things that much - when compared to the cpu overclock, ssd, or gpu - it's definitely true.

However, when you're at the max levels for your cpu/ssd/gpu the memory is one of the few things left to tweak.

There is no giant gain, but perceptionwise your system will feel more responsive and snappier.

Otherwise everyone would be running the cheapest value ram ddr3 1333.

Going to 2133 from 1333, 1333 will feel like a stick in the mud.

You don't have to spend megabucks for ddr3 2400 either.

The $46.99 Samsung 30nm 8gb kit will do C11 2400.

The $59.99 G.Skill C11 2133 8gb kit will do c12 2400.

Nah, I totally agree. It is kinda fun to think about throwing four sticks of DDR3-2133 in my system, but I have noticed the real-world performance delta isn't too huge. There's always the tradeoff between faster bus, longer waits. The stuff is just so darn cheap now.

BTW on the new Asus Bios 3207 on the P8P67 I can reach DDR3 2200 with an Ivy Bridge 3770k now - before I never could go higher than 2133.

The Samsungs run fine 10-10-10-28 1T 1.55v or lower ddr3 2200.

2400 is still a no boot on the P8P67.
