it is pretty good ram, not sure about the price tho.... but it should overclock decently.

My RAM is faster with 1:1 ratio at 4-4-4-12 than 1066 5-5-5-15 since i'm on an nvidia chipset which prefers tighter timings to higher Mhz.

If you consider that a high overclock, ok

They are majorly overrated imo.

Heh, you must have missed out on a setting then. Or they don't play nicely with your board.
And you run 911mhz @ CL5?

Nah, don't see it like that. But you asked if they are good overclockers, so the truth shall be given

Either way, you still have 8GB which is nice. And unless you are a memory freak like me, you'd go back for a new set.

They are rated for 1.9v max within warranty, so I wouldn't give them more then 2.0v. The stock timings on that set is already pretty bad, so you won't have to change that. Just see how far it will go with 5-5-5-15.
