After testing with voltages, I found that OCZ sticks had incredible difficulty exceeding 2.2V, an oddity for Fat body D9s. Corsair sticks ran gladly at 2.65V and Crucial’s ran best at 2.4V. In every of these cases sticks were cooled by their default spreaders and a pair of low-speed Antec 80mm Fans. After fixing with timings, I found that altering tRas didn’t help with over clock at all, and altering tRC beyond 3 didn’t help to any great extent either.

Below are maximum clocks reached that were Super Pi 32M stable, at every timing set.

While results show OCZ sticks clearly behind rest, mainly due to their voltage problems, they still completed spectacularly but I am comparing them with best. A stellar 900MHz from PC2-4200 sticks is big in anybody’s eyes, representing almost a 70% over clock from default clocks.

One stick was capable of taking up to 2.3V with reasonable strength, though this meant running in only channel. This caused a noticeable loss on benchmarks, in particular those bandwidth intensive ones. At 2.3V, I am enabling to push stick to 920MHz at fairly tight timings of 5-3-2.
