    Best thing for you to do is read what limits your ram will do by manual overclock no way around it

    AMD and FSB are like buddies the more you feed it the better it responds and benches

    you should try to lowing your ram to 1600 and up clock it

    Now you could do a slight FSB oc and drop the multi by 1 and try to push that extra 100 MHz to see if it benefits

    I took 1600mhz and ran it at 1765mhz I even got it to roll to 1800mhz corsair vengeance on stock voltage read what the limitations are first then proceed

    OCed my RAM! via timings and and mem offset.

    im at 2133MHz @ 10, 11, 10, 32 @ 1.5V (stock voltage) I wish I could go to 2400MHz but when I do I have to set the CPU/NB to 2400MHz rather than the stock 2200MHz. and I don't want to risk stability with changing that yet.

    I went from 24392.25 MB/s at 1866MHz to 24512.70 MB/s at 2133MHz.

    how does that sound?

    EDIT:

    ran prime, and it failed instantly. so screw it. not worth the extra 200mb/s

    lol you can change the timings all you like better to do it the way I was saying

    Most of the time, I've found it's really not worth the time/effort/risk to overclock RAM. Unless you happen to have a kit that is just ripe for OC'ing you generally won't gain much. 1866MHz and that much memory bandwidth is actually really good for AMD. I'd leave it be.
