   The Pi Black kit is CL8 memory. It runs at 1600Mhz at CL8 just fine. Why they would drop it to CL9 just to hit 1700Mhz is beyond me.
   
   I haven't played with the memory very much at this point, but I noticed markedly better synthetic performance when clocking the memory down. It runs 1368Mhz (And probably higher, but I was CPU limited with the stock i7 air cooler) at CL7 and 1216Mhz at CL6, which offers lower latency and subjectively snappier performance than CL9.
