Overclocking RAM

[Erinyes1103]

Hi guys,
I'm new to the overclocking game, so thought I'd start small and ramp up my RAM's performance.

I've already got some good results by increasing the memory frequency from 1,333MHz to 1866MHz (couldn't get it to boot going any higher).

I was wondering that, now I've done this, would there be much benefit in changing the latency timings(It's currently set at stock 9-9-9-24). If so, could you give me any advice on this or point me in the right direction.

Many thanks.

What ram is it you have?

I have 2x 4Gb Corsair Vengeance sticks (PC3-12800). My Mobo is a Gigabyte P67A-UD4-B3.

you van try to vary the timings, voltage and speed. but for main stability the 1866 is
gunna be the bees-knees. now using the 2000/2133 modules is a different flavor.
are you going to get a performance boost?, naw.. the benchmarks will only get a bump
what kinda overclock on CPU and what CPU?

I've got the i5 2500K but I've not overclocked it yet. Need to wait for my watercooling gear to arrive next week and then i'll be pushing this up and see what results I can get.
