G.SKILL Trident X Series 16GB F3-1866C8D-16GTX Help

[BatJoe]

I have a kit of G.SKILL Trident X Series 16GB F3-1866C8D-16GTX.

I have it running at stock settings: 1866, 8-9-9-24, 1.6V. The only thing I have done is set the command rate to 1 instead of 2. Working fine.

My mobo is ASUS Sabertooth Z77.

I am wondering how much I can push the RAM in terms of keeping latency low and increasing the speed above 1866.

Any tips?

Not sure what CPU, but would guess 2000-2200 at CL9

i7 2600k @ 4.6Ghz

Could prob hit 2133/2200

I'd be happy with 2133 @ 8-9-9-24

What is the max volts I should go? Default is 1.6V which is already over default spec of 1.5V for DDR3 on Intel. I've heard not to go over 1.7V.

1.7 is a good stop, should work at 1.65
