>diminishing returns especially due to it working faster than the speed of my RAM (2667MT/s * 8 = ~21 GB/s).

That sounds kinda slow; Is there only 1 DIMM in the slots? I remember benchmarking 40GiB/s read speed on an older system that had 2 dual-rank DIMMs (4 ranks in total).

I'd expect 3200mbit/s*(64 data lines)*(2 memory channels) = ~48 GiB/s on a typical DDR4 desktop and a lot more with overclocked ram.

Great writeup either way.
