Ik 2133 Mhz RAM will not help you at all. As for the CPU FX-6300 Overclock, you can get on that cooler up to or around a 4-4.7 Ghz overclock. I have the same CPU. Although the RAM won't help you, I would suggest switching the Clock speed to it's advertised version by going into the BIOS or Control Center for your Motherboard.
