Just bought a fx-8350 CPU not paying attention that it only runs 1866mhz ram, i bought corsair vengence 2x8gb 2133Mhz ram. Is it possible to overclock the cpu to around 4.6ghz so i can get run the ram at the 2133mhz? Ill attach part numbers to show my build. I'm new to the whole overcloking thing. i just need advice on how to get it to run stable and also run as fast as it can. I read that it will default to 1866Mhz but id rather it run at the full 2133mhz. Also for the motherboard to support 2133 ill have to over clocking it to it. which it says it does support.
MOBO - ASUS M5A99FX Pro R2.0 AMD 990FX ATX

Is there anything ill need to tewak though? I was reading that some people computers will say its running at the 2133mhz, but the cpu is actually downclocking it to the 1866Mhz.
