G.Skill DDR3 with a Core i7 2600K processor

Okay let's fire up CPU-Z so you can check out a little how we have the system configured.

So in the BIOS typically you can just flick on the XMP profile (see below) and at default we'll have the memory running at 1333 MHz CAS 9, JEDEC timings.

Do you see that XMP-2000  profile? If you have a decent brand Intel motherboard then in the BIOS you will be allowed to to load up and apply that profile in the BIOS, thus pre-configured at 1600 MHz C7 / 1.650, setting up and maximizing your memory this never was any easier.

Interestingly enough in CPU-Z the 2133 XMP profile did not show. It worked fine when enabled in the BIOS though.

By having this as fixed option -- we can now run tests in-between standard 1333 MHz, 1833 and 2133 MHz very reliable and likely even a little more once we overclock. We applied the settings manually.

Once you applied the tweak you are good to go. A quick test with Prime95 show no errors and thus bad memory. So we established that 2133 MHz CAS9 is absolutely flawless stable.
