I've got this:

specifically two of these:

and I JUST put four 140MM fans blowing directly on them... It's time to figure out exactly how far I can push these things...

Currently I have them set at 1066 at 5-5-5-15 2T at stock 2.2volts....
earlier I set them to 1100 at 2.3v and I couldn't even post.

Update, current sisoft memory bandwidth benchmark 5816 MB/sec

I've bumped it to 1200 at the same timings, the only thing I changed was the voltage, now running at 2.25v

Processor now at 4.5ghz up from 3.0ghz.... I think my processor might become the bottleneck, I don't know how much more its going to handle...

Edit:

It appears that the extra voltage on the ram wasn't required.... I went back down to 2.2v and bumped it up to 1225 and it passed around 5 memtests (not the entire memtest just 5 tests)... Thing is I am upping my vcore (stock 1.3) and i'm up to 1.375... and my temps are really high... I need to replace my stock cpu HSF...

Yep, ram voltage seems to be out of the question, I don't need to raise it at all YET.... I might even start undervolting the ram after i've found a stable vcore and ram ratio....

It seems i'm running stable at 1200 at 1.35vcore...

To get to 1215 I need to up the vcore by .25 to 1.375vcore

at default 1066 I have the stock vcore of 1.3v

I'm being limited by my stock heatsink and fan... But in the meantime I will calculate the Vcore to FSB ratio and figure out a good time to stop the fsb overclock.... I'll run at 1215 and 1.375 for now.
