I like how you gave detailed settings for the different frequencies :)

Thanks for your comments, they are most appreciated! This was my first review and with time permitted and my hectic home schedule I could not write up a full review. However for the reasons I requested this memory, and the fact that a review was not in mind when I was sent them I think I got things covered pretty well.

Maybe I'll take another go at finally hitting those 10 000 MB/s in everest ;)
Also, did you noitice any speed or overclockability differences between the P45 and the P35?

Are you using this memory, if so which set? Just wondering.
Hmm, well the one main thing I noticed between P35 and P45 was the tRD setting differences. I found that P35 would accept a lower tRD as it would use the 333 strap most often, depending on the Multi used of course. I can say on P45 using 400 Strap/Multi's a higher tRD was needed compared to 333 on P35 or P45, but I think that is a given.
And from my results and all my tests I think P45 tRD = P35 tRD + 1, meaning a tRD of 7 in P45 would be equal to a tRD of 6 in P35. Don't quote me on that as I did not do any tests to confirm that, but it just seems that way looking over results and thinking back on settings used and ease of use.
Overall the P45 was just a bit trickier when it comes to finding the right MCH Ref voltages (I am covering this in my GA-EP45-DS4P review) and getting the tRD you want to run to be stable.
As for scores, P45 only scored slightly higher at the same clocks, very slight. I do think becuase of the many options and settings in P45 I could run higher clocks easier due to better control though. So if you have P35 and are thinking of getting a P45 it would be a nice upgrade for sure.
