First can I apologize for the lack of tech knowledge, I have a system that is overclocked (not by me) and was wanting to upgrade the ram but apparently this is also overclocked i dont think it will be just a swap, If I just swap the ram out will the new ram blow or fail to boot and is there a way to keep cpu overclocking but put the ram back to stock? Hope you guys understand what i mean and please will you keep your answers quite simple

Many thanks in advance

In your BIOS (Press "DELETE" while the computer boots up) select the MIT section.
Within MIT there are 2 settings that deal with RAM, set both of those back to AUTO for normal settings that allow the MB to control how fast the RAM goes.
These are:
System Memory Multiplier (SPD)
DRAM Timing Selectable (SPD)

So, set them to AUTO, save and exit the BIOS.
If the computer boots up normally than you're good! You've changed the RAM settings and kept the CPU settings.

Now add or switch whatever RAM you want.

If not, back into the BIOS and return the 2 settings to what they were.

Also, read this forum about Gigabyte MBs and learn about your overclocking. It's a great resource and has excellent suggestions about BIOS settings.

Good luck!

Thanks for the really quick reply, will these auto settings effct the cpu at all and is this the only tab (MIT) that overclocks the ram, also seen something called bclk (i think) that keeps popping up in different threads is this to be altered?

Those 2 settings only effect RAM. Your CPU will still stay overclocked. If you run into problems, in the BIOS hit "Load Optimized Defaults" which is a safe and effective way of making sure you settings in the BIOS are good for your system. Just watch that your HDD settings are the same afterwards as that could cause difficulty booting into your OS (give them a quick look before doing the "Optimized" button, make sure they're the same after it's finished).

But seriously, check out that other thread, give it a scan and learn all the fun things that can be done with a Gigabyte board (I have one, they're great)!

as suggested i put System Memory Multiplier (SPD) DRAM Timing Selectable (SPD) to auto, installed the memory but on booting an error message came up about voltages and overclocking then booted up now my cpu seems to be running at stock dont know why

Okay, so. Head back into your BIOS.

Check your HDD settings and make of note of whether it's set to AHCI or not.

Hit the "Load Optimized Settings" button.
Check the HDD settings again to make sure they're the same as before.

Once you're sure everything is good, boot to windows.
Come back to the forum, give us your system specs and check out how to overclock the CPU. We're here to help.
If you're interested in doing it from the BIOS, great. That needs a bit more reading.
If you're interested in doing it from a software side, great! Those are super easy and pretty much idiot proof.

Welcome to the world of having an overclocked CPU and knowing how it got that way.

Record your HDD settings (Take a picture, write it down) so that you can put them back when you've done the "Optimized" setting.

Does that mean you've done it? If so, great.

What are your specs and how would you like to start overclocking? From the BIOS or using a software solution.
Personally I use a software solution (Catalyst Control Center) but I know some look down on that.
I really like the ease of use and the results I get without having to worry about voltages.

My settings are now in a bit of a mess due to the system seeing 16 gb but saying 8 gb useable, it was all useable before the optimised button so not sure exactly what happened, I will find out what the hell is happening and get back when i do
