Little help with a minor ram overlock.

I'm looking to slightly overclock my ram from 1600 to 1866, there's probably a high chance it won't make much of a difference but hey if it's simple enough, right?

Mobo:
ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R2.0

CPU:
Stock 8350

and 4 sticks of 4GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9).

Would this be an entirely difficult task? and/or degrade the lifespan of the sticks or create some other kind of stability issue? I don't particularly want to increase the voltages to do so.
The way I would probably go about doing it is setting it to 1866 and using the same timings as the 1866 kit of this particular ram, but then this is pretty much the first time I've ever overclocked something.

Help greatly appreciated.

your ram spd is 1333mhz...


your ram spd is 1333mhz and actually 1600mhz is an overclocking state. increasing mhz to 1866 you will need to also increase cl timmings or even voltage leading to no particular gain. 1866mhz cl10 wil be practically the same. 1866mhz cl9 or cl8 would be better but i dont think is actually achievable by your ram.
