Suggestions for Ram and O/Cing

[Judd Sandage]

I have an the system in my Sig currently and was looking to doing some overclocking with it before I retire the mobo, CPU and Ram, and I wanted some suggestions as to what kind of settings I should use on it.

And I have an e6300 thats gathering dust waiting for me to work up the nerve and ask for my employee discount on an EVGA 680i A1 board and I wanted to get some good overclockable ram for it, I have heard G.Skill is good, and the Corsair not so good, and what sticks have people used to great O/Cing success?

thanks in advance.

My Gskill 2gbHK sticks rated for 4-4-3-5 are POWERING along at slightly under 1000mhz 4-4-4-5.

They're about 170$ on newegg too.

I have a set of G. Skill F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZs and I'm doing 4-4-4-12 @ just under 1000mhz, stock volts . If I was willing to sacrifice timings I could push them to 1200mhz @ 5-5-5-12 easily,0.2v-0.3v. Alot of the overclockability of your RAM is relient on your motherboard. If you choose a DS3 or P5B then defiantly consider G. Skill. As previously mentioned HKs are a soild choice aswell, but the price difference (on newegg anyway) of the HKs and the HZs being so close I would spring the extra $10 for the HZs.
