so while i was last stripping down this rig i noticed that the two patriot 6gb ram kits id purchased were actually different latencies. 9-9-9-27 and 9-11-9-27 respectively. unforunately patriot no longer make those kits in a 9-9-9 only 9-11-9, which wasnt really what i was after. luckily though i was able to return all 12gb of the patriot sector 7 for some kingston hyper-x 2000mhz, cas 9-10-9-27. the timings arent quite as aggressive as i had hoped but will still be more than capable, and the blue heatsinks will tie nicely with the mainboard. after doing some reading on these dimms it seems they are capable of running at cas 8 @ 2000mhz, the same as the much more expensive corsair dominator kits, win!
