From 1600 MHz To 1866 Mhz?

[TerminalWithProblems]

Is it possible to increase the performance of your RAM by unlocking 1600 MHz to 1866 MHz?

Sorry for acting such a newb. Just asking. Thanks!

Overall, not enough to even notice unless you're running an AMD APU setup.

BF4 you can see slight FPS differences with higher clocked RAM but it's not worth it to buy new sticks. If it can be overclocked I'd say go for it, if you know the risks.

If the sticks are strong enough Yes. Most any DRAM of good quality can be OCed up a step, i.e. in your example from 1600 to 1866, simply manually set the DRAM freq up to 1866 in the BIOS, and raise each of the 4 base timings by 1 i.e. if your base timings are 9-9-9-27 then try 10-10-10-28 and increase the DRAM voltage + 0.05 - what model DRAM do you have and could prob be more specific

Is GSKILL RIPJAWSX 8GB 1600MHZ (F3-12800CL10S-8GBXL) strong enough?

Should be able to yes
