3000MHz with 8GB of ram (4x4GB) just for fun

After the recent Geil competition where I took 16GB of ram to 2720 MHz to win the competition, I decided to have a play with the same GSKILL Trident 2000 MHz 8-9-8-24 kit in a 8GB dual channel configuration.

The result after a couple of hours of tweaking was a cool 3000 MHz!

I am starting to play with my Corsair GTX6 sticks on the same set-up now with hopes of breaking 3400 MHz.
