The RAM speeds, according to memtest was unchanged even though for the switch I ran both sets at 1600 even tightening timings for the AMD rig.
Apparently the RAM frequency has little or no effect on how fast it runs in the machine. It does show a large difference with winsat mem though.
The AMD system ran about 15,100 both times but the Intel dropped from 28,500 to 22,100 with the 1866 RAM.
Here are the memtest pics, the top ones are after the switch, the lowers are the same as in the OP. Attachment 251549
(Rt click,open in new tab/window, click again to see full size) Thats some difference enit

I just thought comparing the same would have been more apropriate :P
Lols @ Steve not noticing who made the post, Tut Tut! Yes, you're right. But in my defence, he changed his avatar. What I have found strange is my Maximus board. I really haven't tried overclocking it, but I can put almost any speed or timings in and it runs fine, and passes memtest. So far, everything I have put in just runs fine. It's mostly been underclocking, but I have lowered the timings considerably and it runs no matter what I put in. I have had Intel boards before that would never do that. Maybe I'll play with it a little more when I put it back together. They're good boards aren't they. I know a couple of peeps that have them and are well happy with them. | My System Specs |

Here is a picture of Memtest running on my Sabertooth mobo.
EDIT: Here is a winsat test to go with it...

Edit:Sorry for the crappy pic but the camera on my phone is pretty poor.
Memtest shows my timing's as 4-5-5-15 for some reason

Thanks for your input guys! That is odd on your memtest timing reading Ryan.  Steve suggested that maybe memtest is not setup to read the newest CPU and RAM correctly. I don't think it's been updated for 2-3 years. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Built Desktop By DataTech OS Windows 7 Ultimate X64 SP1 CPU Intel i5-2550K, Differing ~4.4-4.8GHz No built in GPU Motherboard ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 Memory 16GB G.Skill Sniper 2133MHz 4x4GB Graphics Card ASUS ENGTX460 DirectCU/2DI/1GD5 GeForce GTX 460 Sound Card Onboard Realtek 5-1 Monitor(s) Displays Samsung P2570HD Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Old, beat-up Dell USB From 10 yrs Ago Mouse Gigabyte m6900 wired PSU Corsair HX650W Case Inwin Dragon Rider Cooling Hyper 212 EVO w/two Noctua fans, push-pull, @1300 RPM Hard Drives Crucial M4 128GB for OS, 750GB Seagate MomentusXT for data, 500GB Seagate Constellation for storage Internet Speed 8-19 Mbs down, 3-4 Mbs up Comcast Cable Antivirus Norton Internet Security Browser IE 9, Opera when needed Other Info 4 case fans, LG BluRay-RE, ASUS DVD-RW, Mr. Fusion power generator with flux capacitor, 1.21 gigawatts. |
