Hello,

I have 2 memory cards, 1600mhz, 4 gb each, corsair vengeance.

My cpu is overclocked so when i try to set the memory freg i can only choose something like 1488 1688 or 1988 and 2000+ ( dont know the exact numbers right now caus im at work. )

When i try to overclock my mem on 1988 on timings 12 12 12 36 it goes very laggy and i cant lower tham because my pc will crash.
On 1688 i can get it also like 9 9 9 30 and it is still verry laggy.

How can i fix this?
My mem should be capable at this right? because its a 1600mhz mem.

Im running the mem on 1.8 volt
 
Solution
Then get your CPU to stock clocks and OC the memory first. Take it to 1833 MHz.

Then OC the CPU back to your desired clock speeds and your memory would be OCed accordingly and stably.
