and also generally, keeping your RAM at a lower speed will allow higher o/c. My 2133 RAM makes it more difficult to o/c the CPU and pass prime test, but at 1800 (even with tighter timings) it's easier. Also, maxmem gives better results with a faster CPU, so even with lower memory clocks, the results are nearly what they were even at 2400.

Disregard that falseness about RAM voltage and Sandy/Ivy/Haswell.
Give your RAM whatever voltage it needs to be stable.
The RAM is unhooked from the Bclck..so no;It won't go up as you overclock unless you OC the RAM separately.
