I didn't get it, it was the old ram from when I (pointlessly, in retrospect) upgraded from 16 to 32GB. It is actually rated at 1600 but it over clocks really well for some reason. Unfortunately, one of the ram sticks ended up being bad so I switched back to the 32GB set.
But get this: I raised the voltage in the bios and got the 32 GB Corsair Vengence set to 2200mhz stable from previous high of 2133. The really interesting thing is now I'm getting even better performance with this set up than I was with the 2600mhz OC Corsair Vengeance ram. I went from originally having 20fps around Swan's Pond to about 40 - 45. Where I was getting only about 25 - 30 fps in that area with the 2600mhz set.
I can't explain it, but I'm very happy about it.
EDIT: If I had to guess, if one of the RAM sticks was bad that would affect the dual channel configuation. So maybe that explains it. I wonder if I got 2800Mhz ram now O_o.
EDIT2: Out of morbid curiosity I'm gonna run that Swan's Pond benchmark with one RAM stick for you. Will post results here.
It's not exactly a practical thing to do but corsair has 2 2800mhz kits one is an 8gb(2x4gb) and one is a 16gb(2x8gb)
