How high have you overclocked your Super Talent T8UB2GC5?

Just want to know if anyone has overclocked them and how far you have gotten. I am running a pair of them at DDR2-854 at stock voltage and timings, and they are running like a champ. Thinking of taking them higher, but want to know how high they are able to go.
 
Asus P5K-E. Have a Q6600 OC'ed to 3.2Ghz (9x356) and that bumps my memory to DDR2-854 at 5-5-5-15 at stock voltage. Going to try to change the ratio and see if DDR2-890 works.
 
A guy at Xtremesystems got them to over DDR2 1000 @ 1.95 volts so they do have some headroom if you bump the voltage a bit. I've got a set of these runing in my dads system at 1.9V 4 4 4 15 @ ddr2 800 speeds didn't try and push them more as he's running an E2160 @ 3.2ghz and it tops out there.
 
Good to hear I have a set coming with an IP35pro and E8400 I decided to put more into the MB and CPU and use this ram for a while.
 
Hmm, that's not very good.

I'd assume the CPU's OC is holding you back.

Switch to a higher ratio, such as 4:5 or 2:3, to to test for the RAM's max.

Obviously, that will be a lower CPU speed, but in order to find the max RAM can do, you generally have to lower the CPU's speed.

If these are Powerchips, they should do over DDR2-1000 5-5-5 @ 1.9-2.1V.
 
Will try that tonight ,
I ordered the 2 by 2gig OCZ 8500 reapers from ZZfly 98 after rebate.
thinking these super talents were holding my CPU back others with the E8400 are getting 4.2+
 
Let us know how it goes with a lower CPU speed.

If that's truely the RAM's max, it's going on my "Stay far away from" list, since that's a very poor overclock.

TBH, i really doubt that's as far as it can go.

Most likely as soon as you drop to a lower speed, say 2:3, it'll get a lot farther.

If that voltage in the CPU-Z is correct, i'd say that's holding you back...no way you'll be getting much higher without more vcore (says 1.21v, which would be incredible if you're actually getting 4 GHz w/ that little).
