Gigabyte ep45-ud3l ram overclocking

[soccerkevin11]

Hey Guys,
I have a GIGABYTE ep45-ud3l motherboard with a core 2 quad q9550 processor. I overclocked my cpu to 3.64 Ghz by making the FSB 429 and the multiplier 8.5. However, now im interested in overclocking my RAM. I have the corsair dominator 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) and I would like to know what voltage is safe?
What timings should I try?
How the FSB affects the RAM speed?
and any other piece of information that you think is important.

I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me out with this!!

-Thank You
Kevin M.

I haven't done any RAM overclocking in a while (few years now) cause I stopped overclocking RAM cause it dies alot easier than a CPU if you overclock it too much, and the performance difference isn't that much. I don't remember voltage settings but with regards to FSB the RAM will run at the same speed ratio to your FSB. Remember that DDR is double data rate so standard DDR800(physically 400mhz) you can run at a 400mhz 1:1 fsb ratio, you can run all sorts of different ratios depending on your motherboard, like if your ram will support 1200MHz (600 realisticly), you can run a 400MHz FSB at a 2:3 ratio. Hope that kinda helps, with timings you'll just have to lower them slowly (forgot which ones to start with), and test the system.
