Overclocking G.Skill ram

[FridayThe13th]

anyone here experienced in overclocking g.skill ram? I have a cas7 ddr3-1600mhz kit looking to push it to a 1866 kit without losing the timings

I have a cas7 ddr3-1600mhz kit

equipped with 1333mhz cas9 chips, meaning already overclocked.

Increase voltage to 1.65V but no higher.

I have been using only gskill ram since 2008 and gave up trying to oc any of it any more.
I believe they bin most of there chips.
Like 2 yrs ago I got the first Pi 2x3 kit cas7-8-7 ddr3-1600mhz kit I changed 7-(8)-7 that 8 to a 7 which lead to errors that mem windows test picked up.
On intel I dont like 1.65v

what do you mean, my voltage is a 1.50 and its 1600mhz cs7 stock, your not making sense

are you saying they sell 1333mhz cas9 memory OC'd to 1.50 volt already?

has to be strange because i hit 2xxx with auto timings but it was too slow 11-x-x-x i didnt like it but it was at 1.50 volts.

A Increase in your voltage from 1.50v.to 1.65V my help your oc more.
All the 1.65V memory for sale is plain 1.50v memory with a overclock.

You're not making any sense. How do you overclock 1333 MHz memory to 1.50V? How many MHz is 1.50V?

Overvolting is a widespread practice when overclocking, and even manufacturers do it, as evidenced by DIMMs rated 1.65V.

DIMMs are commonly overclocked over the official speeds of the RAM chips - look at some G.Skill 1600 MHz or faster DIMMs and notice their Hynix H9 (1333 MHz) chips.
