How well does this RAM overclock in general?

This RAM

I have 4 x 1Gb sticks of this DDR2 in my machine and I am wondering in general what kind of results other people are experiencing. I have heard mixed reports about OCZ and I am not sure which one mine is.

Just plotting a course to aim for with my sticks.

Well, aim for 2000mhz at 3,3,3,5, cuz no matter what other people's sticks will do, yours will only do what they can.

Seriously, just follow a good overclocking guide and you'll soon find out how high your memoey can go.

And what's Https.com? Check your linkey.

ya linky no workie

Linkie fixed.

I have two sets of this = 4 x 1 Gb

just don't expect to retain the same tight timings. I will guess the best you can do is 5-4-4-15 but you may have to even to go as high as 5-5-5-18 if your chips are not real good. It also depends on what the motherboard and North bridge can handle too.

I have this kit inside my computer and I have to loosen the timings to 5-5-5-15 to get it to run on a 445 MHz FSB (DDR2-890). I've also run stable with 450 MHz FSB (DDR2-900) as well, using the same timings. I haven't tried playing with the sub-timings yet.

I've tried increasing the voltage up to the recommended maximum 2.2 V with 4-4-4-15 timings at DDR2-890 speed, but the computer won't even boot.

I avoid all OCZ RAMs like the plague. Good JEDEC DDR2 800 RAMs should run well at 1.8V/400MHz/4-4-4-12-2T.

I have that exact ram and am having a hell of a time with my 680i board and a q6600. This ram ran well when I had a E6600 and ran at the factory timings with 4 sticks populated at 3.5. My problems may be my motherboard however. OCZ got alot of bad press from enthusiast forums and some issues were attributed to the nvidia chipsets, especially the 680i. With your sticks try to get stock and be happy to have that with 4 slots in use.

Running perfectly fine at stock speeds all 4 slots on an MSI K9N Neo V3 - AM2 board, Nvidia 560 chipset.
