###Motivation
I played the cex lottery, and the 2x2GB DDR3-2000 I bought showed up as DDR3-1600. I guess "PC3-16000" confuses people. Even worse, it was ver1.1 qimonda rated for 9-9-9-24 1.8V. So, I wanted to get on with a quick test, see if it's worth spending longer on them, then probably toss them.
###Overclocking TL;DR
Voltage scaling on this set stops somewhere around 1.7-1.8V, 1.9V is worse. Best timings at DDR3-1600 are 8-8-6-21, at 1.7V or 1.8V.
