Hi,
I have 2 sticks of G.Skill-NT 4GB DDR3 1600 RAM, and currently running on dual channel. Should I overclock them to 1866 Mhz?
I know it's stupid to overclock RAM when gaming, but I was just wondering if I actually can overclock this, and if it will work.
For further system specs, look down in my signature or hover over my profile avatar.

There no point. Memory bandwidth will not help you. You'll need to loosen up the timings to reach 1866 so i would rather stay with 9-9-9-24 1600 then 11-11-11-30 1866.
