Hello all, I've been assembling my gaming computer for a time now and have been reading tons of articles about overclocking in the meantime. I have gotten my fx 6300 oc'd to 4.4ghz stable max temps at 58 Celsius. But, when i try to overclock my gskill sniper series 1866 ram 8gb from the 1600 it is recognized at to 1866, it will pass stability in prime and what not but some programs will crash and when gaming, such as WoW, it will crash due to the high ram speed. When i reset the ram speed to stock it works just fine. I know the IMC isnt supportive of dual channel 1866 blah blah and 1600 to 1866 is a 1-2% increase in performance blah blah but i want to run my ram speed at the speeds i paid for. Can anyone help?

If youd like to see some cpu-z readings or bios settings i can post some screenshots.
