So I currently have 16GBs of Kingston Hyperx 1866mhz CL10 DDR3 RAM and there's no XMP profile in my Asus Z97-AR motherboard for it. The only option for XMP is 'disabled'.
I might have the following issue since I got 8Gbs (2x4gb) of RAM with the motherboard (came with a bundle) and later bought another 8GBs of the same memory to upgrade to 16GB:

So my question is, is it safe to overclock the CPU while ignoring XMP/Memory overclocking (set it to manual or auto) since about every guide out there uses XMP profiles while overclocking the 4790k..?
My full system specs:
MB: Asus Z97-AR
CPU: Core i7 4790k with Corsair H100i
GPU: GTX660
RAM: Kingston HyperX 16GB DDR3 1866mhz
PSU: Corsair AX760
Hard drives: 256GB Crucial MX100 SSD, Samsung 840 EVO 1TB, WD Green 4TB
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro
Thanks in advance.
