My friend gave me the "value" RAM that was in his system while his actual performance RAM was in the mail. It came in and the oldies became mine.
They are 2x4GB sticks with 1 being from Samsung and the other with an unknown manufacturer.
They booted fine at 1333Mhz Cas9 1.5v. So I tried to see how far I could get them with the highest allowable voltage. Alas, these won't even boot 1866Mhz with Cas9 at 1.65v. So, I dropped the speed to 1600Mhz and decided to work on timings. At the same time I dropped the voltage to the default 1.5 because theres no point in killing my IMC for that kind of speed. The farthest I got was 8-8-8-24-1T @ 1.5v but it wasn't stable in Windows so I bumped the voltage up to 1.55v which did the job
I don't think its a bad overclock at all especially for cheap RAM.

Sounds tempting though.
