CORSAIR Vengeance Overclock Help

Hey guys,
Just got a new build together and got this RAM:

Wanted to see if anyone else has experience overclocking this kit. Corsair has a blog they put up where they ran it at 1.65 and got it to 1866 with 10-9-10-24 timings. Anyone been able to do any better?

My advice: don't bother unless you really want to spend time on it. 1600mhz DDR3 RAM is plenty fast, and you won't see any performance improvements unless you're using an extremely memory intensive application. And even then, the best improvement you can get is in the 10-15% range.

If you really wanted to have fun spending the time to play with it, you wouldn't be asking for advice

Agree with the previous post. The lower timings are going to hurt your more than any benefit you will see improving the speed.

All very true. Either way ill probably mess with it. Was just curious to see if anyone had messed with it so I could try to either mirror or beat their results. I'll post my results when I have them!
