I used to have 4GB of Vengeance ram but recently picked up another 4GB stick on newegg, So 8GB altogether of Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3-1600 Ram. My question is, How high can I overclock this RAM. I have lots of fans in my case (NZXT Phanton 410 Case) One of the 120mm fans is blowing right on the RAM so it's got good air flow, I'm wondering how high I can overclock it and if it will make any difference in FPS..at all.

I'm not quite sure about how high you can go, but that's because overclocking the RAM is not going to improve your performance drastically unless you do editing/rendering, so it's usually not worth it.

I thought the same but I keep seeing benchmarks going around where it shows the increase in mhz in RAM to be as much as a 5-8 fps gain. For example.

Those benchmarks were done with the integrated graphics of an AMD APU. Since the integrated graphics use system RAM, faster RAM will increase the graphical performance. Since your build has a dedicated graphics card, the impact will be much smaller.

Wow, good point. All the scenarios where it shows an increase were done on AMD APUs, I guess i'll just keep it where it is than, thanks.
