RAM overclocking

Anyone know a guide to overclocking RAM? And no, not just frequency, I mean full guide! Timings, voltage, all that jazz.

 

 

Also, I heard it was safe to run RAM at 1.8v if it was stock 1.65v, is that true?

You have trident X, so you have Samsung DIMM's in short bursts you can do 2.4v on the VDIMM voltage, but for 24/7 I'd do 1.75v max.

 

Sounds good. Would increasing the voltage help with decreasing the CL to 9? I'm really wanting to push these suckers on tighter timings just for the hell of it.

Well, I gotten that CL 9 with 1.75v. Really cool but not sure if it's 100% stable.
