I have the oppertunity to get this ram here

at an incredible price. Anyone know how they overclock? I want to run an opteron 148 @ 273x11 so i will need to use a ram divider. So do these go up to 273? :D i dont care about timings as raw Mhz make up for that. Will these go to DDR500? i need to know fairly soon. I searched the forum and found no overclocks, and I looked at the newegg reviews and found nothing. Help would be amazing. :) thanks

When I tried em with my Winnie and SLI-D it was horrid. Ask Reddraggon, he tried to help but we gave up and now I own the Mushkins in my sig. It limited my clock by alot. You can always try it with your setup and see how it works, if not refund it.

And why not just get this? Its cheaper, faster, and is guarrenteed for at least 250Mhz

Looking at those timings they are to tight to be either Micron or Samsung so it's most likely Infenion. If I had to guess then I'd say that they are CE-5/6's or BE-5. When it comes to them you will get different opinions across the board. They are either good or really bad. The reason for that is because they are always coming up with newer revisions of the IC's without spending much on previous versions.
My Infenions were a dud and so were many others that people had. Son's topped out at 220MHz which seems the hot spot for most of these IC's and they can't go 1MHz regardless of the timings. On other hand some people got them up to 270MHz (not these actual sticks but Infenion IC's that I mentioned), but that seems to be the rare case these days.
If it was my decision I'd skip these and get some cheaper Samsung UCCC's that you can find on G-Skill HZ's, Mushkin eXtreme DDR500's and OCZ's Gold (I listed these from cheapest to most expensive).
