Lately it seems like the 1366 socket CPU's have been completely forgotten. Ever since the 1156 socket CPU's launched most manufacturers have been busy optimizing their hardware for 1156 socket compatibility. There has been a couple new features added to X58 chip-set based motherboards, like SATA III, USB III, and USB Power III (on some motherboards), but in the memory category it seems like the manufacturers only care for the P55 chip-set based platforms and not the proven, much more powerful, X58 chip-set based platform. Since February, Intel has released a couple new CPU's for the 1366 socket. The Core i7 930 replaced the Core i7 920 and Intel released the hex core, Core i7 980X CPU. Unfortunately, no enthusiast memory kits followed.I don't know about you, but I prefer to have tighter timings with a lower frequency versus having loose timings with higher frequencies. Even then, not all of the Core i7 920-950 CPU's can fully utilize high frequency memory. Mainly because we did not have a memory divider above 8 available. This was the case with the Core i7 920 CPU. Corsair has finally answered our prayers, not only did they come out with high frequency memory, they came out with memory that has tight timings and high frequency.
