Okay, so not quite rock-solid at 9-9-9-24; overnight stress-test froze. Might've just been Windows acting-up though, so hopefully this clean installation of 1607 solves the problem.
C2Q also froze overnight; will focus on that once I get the i7 stable, but both sets of RAM (at this point) seem to be really particular about which slots they're in.

Jinx
Got a Corsair CX500 for $25-off for my old C2D (its PSU went to the C2Q); the 3x2GB sticks of 2000MHz DDR3 run flawlessly in the C2Q at 1333Mhz as long as they're in slots 2, 3 and 4 and not in slot 1; the 12GB of 1600MHz DDR3 I got for the i7 were unreliable, but the timings were slow anyway (11-11-11-30), so I set them to 9-9-9-24 at 1333Mhz, and they're now rock solid while still achieving the same latency.

Hey, not too rough...
Got every single-player achievement in DOOM aside from the Ultra-Nightmare one because apparently I suck at video games.
Windows 10 is still randomly freezing on my i7 desktop since the Anniversary Update... Clean install soon, I guess.
Put together a new spare-parts build: Core 2 Quad Q9450 on an EVGA 132-CK-NF79 with 8GB of 1333MHz DDR3 RAM (dual channel), a 320MB 550MHz GeForce 8800 GTS, and a 60GB OCZ Vertex 2 running 64-bit Windows 7 Professional... It randomly BSODs; isolated the RAM as the cause; now to find-out if it's the RAM itself or the motherboard. Current plan: Test the 6GB of RAM from the i7 on the C2Q, and buy 12GB of new RAM for the i7 if it fixes the problem.
