Hi, I just made my first build. I have an i7-3770K on an asrock z75 pro3 along with 2x4GB G-skill ripjaws X (1600MHz) . In my BIOS there is an option to set my RAM's frequency to various speeds. Would it really be as simple as that? will it be safe to OC my ram to 1866Mhz or even 2133Mhz? What softwares can i use to find my ram's stability before and after OC? and finally what are the factors which are of my concern during OC.

you can do memtests as you try to oc your RAM also you might want to add voltage because when you increase the frequency you'll need more power

i have never oc'd my ram before so i might not be the best person to ask just giving a little "intro" i guess :)
