Is it safe to overclock a 1333 MHz RAM to 2400 MHz?

Hello. I am currently using 2 RAM's which are :-

RAM SLOT 1- EVM 4 GB 1333 MHz Value Memory

RAM SLOT 2- G.Skill Sniper 4 GB 1666 MHz

First I was continuously seeing low framerates on games through my GTX 650 TiB but then I OC'd both my RAM's to 1866 MHz and I saw a great improvement in FPS. So now I wanna OC them to 2400 MHz and I'm afraid It'll blow up my system.

Thanks in advance.

My System Specs are:-
--------------------------------
CPU - Intel Core i5 2310K @2.90 GHZ (OC at 3.2 GHz)
RAM - You already know, mentioned above.....
GPU - ASUS Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost 2GB GDDR5
HDD1- WD Clavier Green 1TB @Unknown RPM
HDD2- WD Clavier Blue 500GB @Unknown RPM
PSU - Corsair GS 700-750W 80+ Bronze Certified
Motherboard - ASUS P8Z77-V LGA1155

That's all there is... Other specs are about CD/DVD's which I Dnt think is needed to be mentioned

UPDATE: My CPU specifications support 1066 and 1333 MHz modules. I still see crashing games from time to time. It mus not be a problem.
 
Solution
Nope, system will crash big style, if it boots up at all.
Should realy not run mixed ram and if you do, you should set the fastests ram timings to match the timings of the slowest ram.

I now OC'd my RAM to 2133 MHz and my PC took some extra time to boot up than usual. Everything is running fine. I have not tried running games yet. Will see it up soon. Should I get another G.Skill Sniper RAM? And what could really happen if I OC'd it even further? And what could this crash be related to? CPU or Mixed RAM? And could this crash happen also if I didn't OC it? Pls let me know all about it. Thanks.
