Optimizing My ram.. [RESOLVED]

Hi, im running my pc overclocked at 3.76ghz - overclocked quad. I just today installed my 2x2gb ocz native 1000mhz memory, ive installed it in dimm1 and dimm3 for dual channel.

Anyway i have 3 questions:

1) How far can i overclock the speed of my memory? 1066mhz,1100mhz,1200mhz?

2) I have the memory timings set at 5-5-5-18-1T, is there a faster cycle i can set for any of these?

3) The max volt is reccomended at 2.1v, would setting that higher allow for a better overclock and if so, whats a safe voltage to up it?

Cheers :cool:

my overclock mustnt be stable enough as its a bit fussy dropping the 18 to 15.

ive set CR to 2T, as soon as this overclock is stable i will dropping it back to 15.

A quick question you might be able to help with, this ram is reccomended to run at 5-5-5-18, how come i have seen people run theres at 4-4-4-12?

I could never run mine at CAS 4, even at 800mhz.

I've never seen anybody run it at 4-4-4-12 at anywhere near 1000mhz.

Ive got it good at 5-5-5-15-2T. not really any need to tighten them i guess
