    Is this a good RAM overclock?

    I had the 16gb ddr3-1600 RAM oem setup in my refurb m17xr4, so I decided to give them a little push.
    Original: 11-11-11-28 @ 800mhz x2 = 1600mhz (cpu-z read)
    New (stable) 9-9-9-26 @ 965mhz x2 = 1930mhz (cpu-z read)

    Would you guys consider this a good overclock, or is there more room for improvement?

    That's pretty darn good. Are those Samsung modules? What program did you use to overclock?
