With Nehalem NDA up I can now publish all of my results I have obtained while having the platform. I will start with this tri-channel DDR3 memory kit I recieved from A-DATA. Results should be similar to what the kits you buy in the stores will be as I was told these are not handpicked.
Test system specification
Intel Core i7 965 Extreme Edition
ASUS Rampage II Extreme
8500GT 512MB
Silverstone Olympia 1200W

* SPD (Serial Presence Detect) programmed at JEDEC standard for basic system booting
* All memory chips are verified using overclocking criteria for better quality

Results
CPU-Z reads CAS-latency a bit wrong so look at the report from Everest when it comes to that.
7-7-7-20-1T 1.95V

7-7-7-20-1T 2.1V

8-7-7-20-1T 2.0V

8-7-7-20-1T 2.05V

I was quite amazed with these rams as they are the meainstream series and clocks high enough to match most high end kits out there. More results will follow!
