i have a 1866mghz stick of ram an a 1600mhz stick of ram there runing on different channels tho should i dc the 1866 or oc the 1600 to 1866
 
Solution
First thing - only use kits of identical ram.

Next - enable XMP in bios to get them running at rated speed.

I'd get 2 x 4gb 1866 cl9 1.5V ram. Low profile to avoid clash with the cpu cooler eg GSkill Ares
