The extra speed available still isn't showing up in our testing. We'd have hoped that the move from 2133MHz to 2400MHz, coupled to the faster CPU, would give a big benefit, but the G.Skill Trident X ends up tied for third place in the Sandra bandwidth test.
Taking the CPU cache speed into account with our next benchmark, we can see how much extra performance is available with the i7-3770K compared to the i5-2500K.

Awesome review! Finally an 8GB Trident X Kit 
A good review once again, and I think this really hammers it home that anything more than 1600MHz is a waste, unless it's the same price as the 1600MHz DIMMs.
He says...with his overpriced 2133MHz RAM -.-

Idk if its just me but Id like to see some 1600mhz kit with tight timings rather than just high clocked with loose timings. I guess its possible to underclock and get lower latencies but perhaps companies could sell the 1600mhz at a cheaper price because big numbers = bigger price a lot of the time.
Can anyone recommend a ram water block for these sticks? Thanks

Tight timings makes SFA difference to 1155, its all about the bandwidth aka - MHz when it comes to good performance with these.
Oh. Hmm I will have to remember that if and when I upgrade.
nice review tom...
