Some have reported issues operating performance modules on the MSI P67 motherboards.
We were finally able to attain working motherboards to test these issues.
Here is what we discovered:
For B3 revisions, nothing worked.
We attempted DDR3-1333 CL7 - DDR3-1600 CL6, CL7, CL8 - DDR3-1866 CL8, CL9 - and all DDR3-2133+ products. None were able to work with stability. Lower performance products such as CL9, should work fine. We are doing our best to assist MSI in any way to quickly resolve this issue. Watch out for BIOS updates on manufacturer website, and check back here as we will provide a follow up.
For B2 revisions, we had some results. The key was to enable XMP, AND manually configure settings. Usually only one is required, but for this particular issue, the temporary solution is to do both. A BIOS update should be in store as well to solve this problem.
Here are some pictures to further explain:

Remember, this issue only applies to MSI motherboards. There are no problems with ASUS, Gigabyte, AsRock, or other P67 motherboards. These have been fully tested and approved with our RipJaws X lineup. For example with ASUS P67 motherboards, all you need to do is enable XMP in EFI/BIOS, and ANY RipJaws X memory should work flawlessly. (even DDR3-2000+) For now, we will continue to push MSI for revision.
