  1. The switch happened only on kits whose specs allowed for it. As much as G.Skill would like to use cheaper ICs on, say, 2400C8 PI, there simply aren't any alternatives out there.

    It's not impossible to find 1600C7 with X-series that are new, but chances are those won't be good.

    Normally most 2200 9-9-9 kits are BBSE, but from the seventh digit of the bottom marking, I see it's a "C" or a "D", indicating Elpida BCxx (which officially never existed) or BDBG/BDSE.

  2. For E5x00/E7x00 you need PLL under the default 1.5V, which only Gigabyte P45 and PLL-modded boards can set.
    Without PLL mod, the current #1 E5200 stops at 390 air, 480 LN2.

    Also, you can immediately discard Wolfdale-3M derived ones (96-98%) and focus on Wolfdale-6M ones. You can distinguish these physically.
    I've tried around 100+ of the latter, which would yield same results as 2000-4000 random ones.

  3. Another argument for allowing to disable / downclock cores: continuity and simplicity of rules. Imagine a new person trying to submit a score in 2021 and having to learn about differences in rules for pre-2010 and post-2010 hardware?

    Perhaps a separate hardware point category for all-cores-same-clock would suffice? It's not like there aren't hundreds of these already per each piece of hardware.
