Hello guys !

First of all, im Felipe, and im from Argentina, so my English could be a bit disgusting hehe.
I've never done any overclocking before, so, i dont know how to do it :D.
Here's my build:

Intel i7 3770K 3,4 GHz Ivy Bridge
8 GB DDR3 Kingston 1600 MHz (in BIOS it says 1377 MHz, idk why)
Asus P8Z68- V PRO /GEN 3
Radeon 6850 1GB DDR5
Topower 650 W

Personally i only thought to overclock the i7, but i dont know if you can overclock the ram too. So, can someone explain me how to do the overclocking? Does it have any risks of damaging my PC? Please let me learn what you know about this :)

For OCing on your mobo, would look for a guide - google P8Z68 OVERCLOCKING GUIDE will probably see primarily guides towards the 2500K and 2600K but will give you a good idea - for the DRAM, make sure you have the latest BIOS, enable XMP and select profile 1 - that should put you to 1600, then can try OCing from there if you want, but will get better results from the CPU OC, so I'd work at that first
