I know there is no way to tell how high each individuals overclock will go, but I don't know how to get these modules to go high and not fail in Memtest. I have read that these are supposedly the best modules for Overclocking, the BH-5 chips, but I don't know how to overclock RAM correctly at a 1:1 to get the best performance. I don't know when to change the latencies, the voltages, and FSB to get the maximum overclock that I can out of these. If anyone could give me some tips on beginning to overclock RAM I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks.
 
muskin pc3500 contains some of the best overclocking bh5 out there.i would first try out the cpu with the memory in 3/2 just to see how fast (fsb) the cpu will go.for example,lets say ur cpu tops out at 255 fsb . i would then set the vdimm voltage for 3.2v(the bh5 wants and needs voltage especially if ur gonna try to run it 255) set the ratio to 1-1 and timings to 2-2-2-5 and see how far u get. if it runs the speed great. but if it tops out at say 240/245 then id try 2-2-3-5 timings or 2.5-2-3-5. now if it wont runs that speed at 1-1 or if the cpu clocks to like 270 fsb then u can always run it at 5/4 ratio at 2-2-2-5 and lower vdimm
 
Thanks, I'll give that a try. Anyone else have an suggestions?
 
Thanks a lot for the tip! I did what you said, found my max FSB@ 244MHz, then I took it back to about 225MHz, 1:1, 3.2v on the RAM, kept taking it up, until 241MHz, it was unstable, kept dropping it 1MHz, until it was stable at 239MHz 2-2-2-5! So now I did 3dMark01 and got a score of 18305, which is like 1000 points or so higher that my previous high! Thanks a lot!
