Are you talking about the C7 2000mhz blades?
If so those are the ones that die, often, that is why they are out of stock everywhere.
They used the Elpida Hypers i was talking about.
Also you need huge QPI voltage to get to 2000mhz C7, which could degrade the IMC on your 975.
They do a 1600 C6 kit i believe which is also mad money but could make more sense.

If you want something top drawer then try these: OCZ Technology | Products | Memory | OCZ DDR3 PC3-17000 Blade Series Low Voltage Triple Channel
They prolly use the same ICs as the other blades but it seems like you want the fastest out there so...

You got a link to buy these i dont want dodgy ram had that before years ago had major hassle getting them returned.

They are due out shortly.
But I wouldnt spend that much money for so little gain in performance, ive done that enough times already.
I would look at the Corsair GTs or the GSkill PS they are still way overpriced but at least they are in stock and easier to get replacements if they die unexpectedly. If i had to choose between the two i would go with the Corsairs 2000C8 they could potentially do 1600C6.

Good luck with which ever you go for.

Oh yes, take a look at kitfits thread on the Classified X58 thread, he has a 975 and phase, that should give you an idea of what possible with the right cooling.

What did you go for in the end?

[davy1shoe]

Corsair Dominator GT 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-16000C8 2000MHz Triple Channel Kit.

Did that kit come with the fan?

[davy1shoe]

Yup.

[Clunk]

I have the dual channel version, its a very nice kit indeed.

[davy1shoe]

Ok finally got my pc stable at 4.35 but my rams sitting at 1800 not the 2000 its says on the tin.
But i must say my pc flying just now pity my crappy killer network card doesnt have windows 7 support and keeps my ping from being great 24/7.
