Our Asus P5K3 Deluxe offers some great configuration options which means identifying a maximum overclock or enhanced timings is quite easily achieved. In the case of the OCZ 1333MHz sticks we have shown above the various configurations we found to be fully stable and of use to end users (you guys). The first result shows the stock scores of these modules. From there we see that dropping to 1T increases the performance by a couple of hundred points. We can exceed the bandwidth of these results quite easily by moving to slightly looser timings which gives us the ability to run the sticks at DDR3-1504 (8-8-8-20 1T). For this a memory voltage of 1.95v was used, which is within warranty specifications. Unfortunately at stock timings the overclock was not as good as we would have hoped and despite the higher voltage of 1.95v being used the maximum speed we achieved was 1412MHz, placing this result as 2nd fastest in terms of bandwidth.

The only configuration missing from the above table is how the sticks perform when the timings are tightened. With these particular modules reducing the timings to 6 from 7 resulted in us having to run the memory at DDR3-1066, the resulting bandwidth was therefore not great and the setting not really worth using.
