I have this type of ram: Corsair XMS3 Vengeance DDR3 PC15000/1866MHz CL9 4x8GB
And this type of motherboard: Asus Maximus IV Extreme

I currently have my ram set to 1600 Mhz and i know i can set it to 1866 Mhz, but can i go further? Is this type of ram overclockable? If so with how much do you believe i can overclock it?

If i cant overclock it then its not a big deal.

All i want is to increase my experience with memory and overclocking memory :)

Overclocking RAM when you already have DDR3 1866 with an Ivy Bridge CPU will have almost no effect as DDR3 1866 is about as fast as the Ivy integrated memory controller ( IMC ) can use. You also risk system instability when you overclock RAM. Just enable XMP in your BIOS and it will set the RAM to it's rated voltage, speed and timings for you.
