I think my memory is responsible for my OC limit. I am currently at DDR 924 1:1. 5-5-5-15. Does anyone know if overvolting this OCZ memory helps w/ overclocking? I'm not sure whether stock voltage is 1.8 or 1.9, and I currently have it set at +.03 on my DS3 board (either 2.1 or 2.2). If overvolting it will help, is it safe to take it up to .04? I know some memory is more sensitive to voltage than others. Thoughts?
 
Overvolting the memory will help
 
Anyone else? Someone has to have some experience with this memory...
 
Sorry, but are talking about the limit on your CPU or your RAM?

Check the OCZ website for max Vdimm on your specific memory. It should be able to handle uip to 3v, but you should never need to take it that far.
My memory (in specs <<<) Needs a minimum of 2.6 vdimm to run at max timming 2,2,2,5.

well hes talking about DDR2 ram and it doesnt use as much as DDR.

Well I say dont go higher then 2.3V and see what you get ? cuz do you got good air flow in your case ?

Yeah, kinda missed that, But still check the OCZ website. It will list the max's to look out for and the min required for best timmings.
