I have 2x G.Skill Ares CL 10,11,10,30 1866Mhz 1.5V in Dual and 2x8gb Gskill Ripjaws X CL10,11,10,30 1866Mhz 1.5v in Dual on a Asrock 970 Extreme4 mobo with an AMD FX 8350 processor. Im wondering what the limits are for my ram. I think my mobo can handle up to 2100mhz so Im wondering exactly if I can do it with these and what settings I might change them to? I'm extremely new to OC'ing and the most I can do myself is press X to enable x-boost LOL. also if anyone could teach me how to OC or post a guide to doing it that would be greatly appreciated. I dont have a water-cooling system but I have 4 huge fans and when my CPU is as max load under a stress test for like 10 mins the highest temp it reaches is about 61*C

1) if your DDR3 memory is stable just leave it there. You won't benefit overclocking it.

2) CPU overclock->
You can just GOOGLE for lots of reviews. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MckeAmnDeTk

Your CPU throttle temp is in the 60-70degC range (not sure exact value) so I'm not sure how much overclock you have left.

Other:
Your CPU cooler is the most important thing for overclocking. You didn't say what it was. Considering you apparanently have some overclock already and the temps, there may not be much capability left.
