I have been playing around with my ram for a bit, and i can't seem to pass 1600 mhz, which are their stock mhz. I tried to push it to 1866 but it's just crashing. I am changing like 5 things, the speed (mhz) and the 4 values that goes like 7-8-7-24. I got the G.Skill F3-12800CL7T-6GBPI Ram.

My question is, anyone who knows how i can possible get more Mhz?
Making them more stable?

Well from the sounds of things you just changed the memory multiplier to try and up your ram speed.

So, lower your cpu multiplier to like 16-18 and then start upping your Bclk to start raising your ram speed. Once you get stuck you can up your vtt voltage and or loosen up your timings, like 8-8-8-27. Another thing, if you have your timings on Auto and depending on what MB you have, you may have something called "performance enhance" in your Bios that defaults to a Turbo setting (Gigabyte boards) and keeps your timings pretty tight. You can set this to Standard to loosen up your timings (includes sub timings) and makes it much easier to OC your ram.
