Default Anyone else using OCZ gold 2gbx2 1066mhz kits?

I am asking before I even try to overclock them so I don't waste my time... I just bout 2 2gb sticks from microcenter in a 4gb kit and I have them running at their rated speed of 1066mhz in my sig rig, but I would like to do a little overclocking and wondered if anyone else is using them and having any luck?

The reason i bought them is because they are way shorter and my true cleares them with ease... The Dominators are soooo dang tall, and I can't even use my first 2 ram slots, and one of them is one of my dual channel slots.

Can you give us an exact model number or product link? Otherwise it could be any OCZ gold kit

Could this be the kit that is the LV kit? Or are those the platinums? I forget

I would try first updating your motherboard BIOS if you haven't already. AM2+ motherboards have always had trouble attaining 1066 for some chips... I know my mobo from ASUS has 3 BIOS updates with "Enhancing Stability when using 1066 RAM" in the description!
