Gskill RipjawsX OCing

[Andy34]

I have these G Skill RipjawsX http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231428 ,I was wondering how I could

OC it to 1866mhz, and if it will work on this ASUS Crosshair V Formula AM3+ AMD 990FX http://www.newegg.com/Product

/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131735 using a a FX8150 ?(When they are released of course) Considering bulldozer had native 1866 mhz support.

Well I got a similar kit from the same brand and a board with the same chipset well

I can run some tests if you want.

Ok, all i want to know is if it runs stable and cool at 1866mhz and at which timings

You could try 9-10-9-28-2T timings. I bought the G Skill Ripjaws X 1866 mem and that's the timing it uses... also 1.5v

There is no guarantee that the RAM you picked which is rated for 1600 Mhz. will actually run stable at 1866 Mhz. but it might. You'd need to try changing the RAM speed setting in the BIOS. You may have to run slower timing and/or more voltage to get the 1600 RAM to run stable at 1866 Mhz.

FWIW- Asus mobos seem to be far more RAM sensitive than other brands of mobos that I have used.

The problem when it comes to overclocking ram is that it can be rock solid for a while at high clocks only for it to degrade even at stock voltage.
