The Corsair TWIN2X2048-8500C5 memories can overclock further when

settings. Drive strength defines how sharp the edge of a signal transition is.
Lowering the signal drive strength reduces noise injected to neighboring
signals and helps increase frequency.

If you use different memory types, you may discover other tricks and
optimizations by experimenting. For instance, raising the drive strength
may be more a more effective way to tune memory for low latency but
less effective for increasing frequency.
For example, OCZ Technology memories with EPP, lowering data (
and
drive strengths by 0.75x produces higher overclocking results.
