I've found multiple articles comparing DDR3-800 up to DDR3-1600. Single vs dual vs tri channel. Lower latency lower clocks vs relaxed latency and higher clocks. The only articles I have found that have to do with DDR3-2000 are the 2GB and 4GB kits that were out when the 790i was the big gun. I understand DDR3-1600 is the sweet spot for those who want to overclock and it offers good latency/speed. However, you can get DDR3-2000 @ 8-8-8 for a a good amount more than 9-9-9-30, and you can pick up 9-9-9-30 DDR3-2000 for not a lot more than DDR3-1600.
My question is, have any of you used 1866 or 2000 in your rigs? Would using DDR3-2000 @ 8-8-8 or 9-9-9 generally yield any benefit what so ever over DDR3-1600? I have noticed tighter timing DDR3-1333 performing better than looser timing DDR3-1600 in some games, but I haven't seen any benchmarks with DDR3-2000. I thought since it's clocked significantly higher than 1600 it would be worth benchmarking more and worth using, but like I said, I haven't found anything on tri-channel DDR3-2000 compared to anything else.
