I did a bit over 3 passes of Memtest86+ before I canceled it. I also did an overnight Prime95 test to check stability for my other clocks as well.. and it passed
It'll stay cool enough as well.. Arctic Cooling RC + my cases air flow keeps things pretty cool

have you run any benchmarks to see if you improved by using the 1T command rate? i.e. Everest Ultimate, 3DMark06 etc. etc. ?

Changing the timings from 7-7-7-20-27-2T to 7-6-6-18-24-1T everest memory latency went from 41.9ns to 40.4ns.
The 2T > 1T change made about .3ns difference I think.
