I was doing some tweaking on my Z77 and noticed a huge difference in performance when enabled C1 timings over C2.  Never have I seem such a dramatic increase in performance when setting C1 in all my years of testing.  I would highly recommend you do some testing yourself. 
 
Gskill 2400mhz @ 10,12,12,C1  3dmark 2011   10717
Gskill 2400mhz @ 10,12,12,C2 3dmark 2011    10348
 
Will post some pics showing the differences today.

    Dude, that's crazy...I don't think any of us have seen something like that before, nice work!
     
    I wonder what exactly accounts for that?  VERY interesting.

    I used to get variances like that when I did nothing and held my mouth right with vantage.  I'd average multiple runs at C2 and multiple runs at C1 and take the difference.  It would be an interesting test.

    Pretty much what delirious has already said.  One test with that small a change could merely be a fluke with a futuremark test.  Run it a few times each and average out the tests.  You could also run heaven and see how the average and min/max FPS numbers are changed.
