I have a 2x4GB kit of Crucial Ballistix DDR3 1600
PC3-12800
CL9
9-9-9-24
No RAM cooler

How much can I decrease the timings, and how much of an overclock can I get out of this ram?
Can I go farther than 1866?

Thanks

Yeah, what Undying89 says - consider that there is likely a trade off and your timings will have the greatest effect - keep in mind the ram responsiveness formula; CL/Frequency x 2000 = response in nanoseconds. The trick to overclocking ram is to get the fastest response from the ram (which may not be at the highest frequency the ram can do)
