For testing this product, I used the following test setup:
Motherboard: ASUS Blitz Extreme |

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 Dual Core
|
BUY!
PSU: Antec Quattro 850W
|
BUY!
Video Card: HIS
1900XTX
|

Hard Drives: Western Digital 750GB

Memory: Crucial
Ballistix DDR3 PC3-12800 Memory

Please note that in order to find the maximum stable
overclock, I increased the memory voltage to 2 using a
timing of 8-8-8-20
T1.
I started at the default speed of 1600MHz DDR3 and slowly
increased until I hit 1800MHz. I found 1800MHz DDR3 to be
stable when both running Prime95 and games. Remember, the
lower the memory timing the better. Sometimes a lower memory
timing at a lower speed will be on par with memory at a
higher speed using higher memory timings, so keep that in
mind when overclocking memory.
Please keep in mind that these overclocking results will
vary from module to module and system to system.
