How high does your value RAM overclock?

[StrangerGuy]

Just bought 2x 2GB Kingston DDR2-800 ValueRAM...Now @ 860MHz, Elpida chips, with stock timings/1.8V. I wonder if I can hit 1066?.

Since overclocking budget RAM isn't really covered that much by sites I would like to read your experiences. Because from what I see budget ram is just the same as performance ram without the fancy heatsinks and a lower default voltage.

I run the same ram at 900, been doing so for about a year with out a problem. I would try higher but my e5200 won't break 3.4 so there is not point.

wait, you mean they do ram just the same as processors? same item, lower specs?

I ran my HP cheapo ram at 1000 @2.0 Volts for 3 years. a bit of airflow over em was all they needed.

DDR2/800 Crucial ram at 868 MHz, normal volts. Pukes any higher.

G.Skill DDR2 800 @ 1066 stock volts

G.Skill DDR2 1066 @ ~1200 stock volts (2 2x2gb sets, both reach same speeds, maybe higher, but at 2800NB there is no point.

Bought the same stuff last week for a friends build, Kingston ValueRam KVR800D2N5K2/2G. Running at 890MHz on stock voltage, 5-5-5-17. Have not tried any higher. Just wanted to get the CPU, X3 435 Rana, to 3.2GHz. Prime95 stable for 10+ hours.

got the same hp ram ddr2s, can do up to 900mhz@1,85 or so. maybe get some heatspeader would be nicer for it but it's cheap ram so i don't bother.

I downloaded 8GB of RAM off this trusty site I found on google, I think it runs at like DDR8-9000+.

My DDR3 1066 Crucial value RAM clocked to 1600 CAS 7. I hear these babies do over 2000 CAS 8.

Kant, would be put that for sale sign to a 120 point letter? I can't seem to make it out from 5 feet away :]
