G. Skill 3x4gb 1333 OC Question

[ihrtcorgies]

My system specs are as follows:

ASUS P6X58-E PRO
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 12GB 1333 (PC3 10666)
Gigabyte GTX 670
RAIDMAX Blackstone series RX-700AC
i7-960
Hyper 212

I used the the auto OC feature in my BIOS and got my CPU to 3.9ghz and the RAM at 1331mhz. I'm going to be attempting to OC everything manually, but I'm afraid the RAM I have won't allow me to reach my goal OC of 4.2ghz w/ RAM @1600mhz. Is the highest speed I'm going to get from this RAM 1333? I've tried to find more info the web but I keep coming up short for answers.

If your ram is rated at 1333MHz, then I doubt you'll get 1600MHz out of it.
You should have bought 1600MHz ram to begin with if you knew you were overclocking.

Thank you for the response. Yea I didn't really know much about overclocking before I put this rig together. From what I read just now I wouldn't see much of a performance increase anyways. I'm more concerned with getting my cpu to around 4.2-4.4 ghz and wasn't sure if having RAM at that clock speed might hinder me from getting those results.

edit: If i'm putting my bclock to any where above 200mhz how can I keep my RAM at 1333 if the lowest multiplier is x6?
