Default Newfound OC success with memory!

I had a HELL of a time before I went WC'd....even after RMA'ing my FlexXLC, I still wasn't able to hit the 1150Mhz mark and boot...
Now, after watercooling EVERYTHING in my rig (coincidence?), I've found a stable CPU clock, I decided to play with the RAM...
First 825Mhz...no prob. Thought for sure issues would arise...
So off I go again...
Here is where I sit right now...and I'm very impressed!



I was running 4-4-4-8 1T with 800Mhz and 825Mhz...I decided to raise it up to 11 because I was sure it wouldn't post...
Gonna see if I can get 1150Mhz at the rated 5-5-5-18 2T (or enable SLI?)

Okay...this time for SURE I thought I was n't going to POST...
Check it out...



955Mhz with 4-4-4-11 1T!?!
I couldn't be happier!
But I can't explain it. But of been the NB overheating before? 916Mhz at 5-5-5-16 2T was the BEST previous OC...and that was very unstable!
I love my liquid cooled OCZ!!
Gonna go run a low level RAM stress test...brb!

EDIT: That is more than twice the mem bandwidth of my previous PC, Athlon 3200+ with DDR400 OCZ....stunning!

Well, the low level mem test wasn't an issuse, but running a blend test with Prime95 uncovered some instability perhaps...
I upped the vdimm by .05 to 2.15v and that helped, but it might need a little more...
