This is the long awaited tutorial on how to overclock your RAM, especially if it is 1.5v ram. Today I am using 1600 my CFD (can be found here - http://www.cfd.co.jp/memory/elixir_ddr3.html) rated @ 9-9-9-28 speed ram and show you guys the methodology which will work with other speed and voltage RAM. Also please remember that all RAM is different from Chip to Chip, just like CPU's and GPUs it is also part of the "lottery bin"). However you should be at the very least enabling your XMP profiles. But this guide goes beyond that and shows you how to get a sweet spot overclock for your ram.

This is done on an Asrock Z77 Extreme 4, OTHER MOTHERBOARDS WILL LOOK DIFFERENT IN BIOS!!! please remember that.
