So i overclocked my Adata blue ddr3 from 1600-2133. I just raised the speed in the XMP settiing i believe and did not raise voltage. I ran a ram test and there were no errors.

Am i missing something lol? Can I damage my ram from this?
 
Solution
XMP sets everything up for you (the frequency, timings, latency, voltages and CPU multiplier). You are not missing anything.

Thanks for the answer everyone. My ram is only rated for 1600mhz. Its adata blue 1.5v CAS 11 ram. In the bios there is a setting that let me change ram speed default only runs at 1333. I raised it to 2133 and it was stable, would not boot at 2400. I tried to lower cas latency timing to 10 and it wold not boot.

Currently I raiesd voltage to 1.53v, and it is now stable with these timings. 10-13-13-35-46. Originally 11-13-13-35-46.

Is this overclock "safe" can it damage the memory controller in cpu? fx 8320 4.8ghz 1.44v.

also should i try to lower other timings besides cas latency timing.
