NOW thats more like it! now your running the kick butt i7 speed!lol did your WEI increase at all?
triple channel is the 'link speed' between the ram modules, earlier core 2 and pentium setups run a dual channel (128bit transfer interface) and now the i7 uses tri channel (192 or 256bit? cant remember) which is what also makes the i7 setup so great! it does not have anything to do with the actual speed of the memory. cpu-z now shows around 800mhz, which is ddr 1600. if it was a ddr2 800mhz ram it would show 400mhz, which is the term double data rate.
it should have a section where all the voltages are, like the cpu, fsb,ect. and it will have mem voltage or something. ddr/ddr2/ddr3 have different voltage tolerances but yours is rated at 1.65v. you need to find it incase it is over-volting your ram, which can either destroy it or reduce its life span. it has to be in there somewhere, and i highly recommend you find it and set it to 1.65v.
and thats the only thing i change?
also seems my temps went up a few Celsius higher after that.
Im also guessing the voltage was lower than that because when i first turned my memory up to 1600 mhz my temp went up and now when i turned it to 1.65v it also went up again...

Naturally.
Higher power = higher temperature. I'm sure it's fine.
That's why performance RAM like OCZ has heat spreaders.
