Re: What is your fastest RAM speed achieved with the X99 Classy?

My Corsair Vengeance 2800MHz 64GB (8 sticks) kit is overclocked to 3200MHz with timings the same as the 3200MHz Corsair Vengeance kit - running at 100 BCLK.
All I'm certain of is that some CPUs can't take high MHz RAM, and that the X99 series boards can get unstable QUICK when you add the required 125 BCLK for >3200MHz RAM. So is life. But hey, a bleeding edge seeker like yourself can pony up for an insane clockspeed kit and tinker with it for days getting it stable right? The downside being that there aren't many real world gains to super fast RAM (3200MHz seems to be a sweet spot for price/performance).
