After using VRs, I realised its really hard to overclock since VR can only achieve certain speeds & latencies which are really bugging me when it bottlenecks my proc's overclockablity.

Well, it very much depends on the ram chip itself rather than value rams or performance rams.
I had a pair of Team Value Rams which did 1200Mhz 5-5-5-18@2.1v.
And i've seen a lot of Crucial Values which comes with D9GMH chipsets doing pretty well.
It takes a lot of effort in finding a good pair of VR though. Those Kingstons which come with D9GMH/D9GKX are no longer seen on the market.
There are gems everywhere actually, just how u manage to discover it and unleash. Dun be surprised that under the relabellings, some of those are actually GMH/GKX.

Performance ram .. cause they have better cooling, better efficiency and better Mhz

then why certain 'value ram' can reach even those level that even performance ram cant achieve.

its the certain chipset that important.wonder why kingston god stick can reach 1000mhz on stock vcore while Corsair XMS struggle to reach it.................do ur research 1st. shakehead.gif

They are just lucky when they bought VR at the time, furthermore the price were not as cheap as today as we can see midget RAM now(for sure no D9GMH/GKX here). Why bother on that, performance RAM getting very cheap lately. I am also getting my Crucial Racer RED 4GB kit DDR2, and it's damn nice.
