RAM memory overclock

[baniDJ]

Hello there,
I'm upgrading my CPU from AMD A4-5300 to an AMD A8-6600K and I want to overclock my RAM
Now that I'm with the A4, I have overclocked the RAM to 1600 MHz because that is the MAX that CPU supports, but if I buy the A8 it supports more but would i be able to overclock it to 1866 Mhz or more ?
My RAM is 2x2 GB kit Transcend 1333 MHz so if I overclock it to 1866 or more would it damage it?
Now it's runnig overclocked at 1600 MHz and it's working fine. I open sometimes the case of PC and the RAM is not hot so could I overclock it to 2133 Mhz maybe ?
For overclocking I go to my BIOS and there are OC Tweak tabs and there everything is automaticall i only need to choose the speed I want so it is easy to overclock. Max clock that I see in the motherboard / BIOS settings is 2400 Mhz.
Thanks a lot

Main question: WOULD I BE ABLE TO OVERCLOCK? WILL IT DAMAGE THE RAM?

And another question. Would i be able to play Battlefield 3 in medium settings or better with this iGPU with resoution 1366x768 ?

Are you working in a laptop? If so, due to the lack of heat spreaders on the RAM I would not have it overclocked for long periods of time. However, if you're working with a desktop, buying something such as a RAM cooler would keep the ram safe. 1866 isn't too far but builds up heat without air spreaders

I'm in desktop PC Can u send me a link for air spreaders from NEWEGG or better if you can from amazon ?

You can try OCing them, what's the actual model number of the sticks and can come up with some suggested settings, no guarantees but can try

I'm assuming that you're in the States, name of the product is "Corsair Airflow cooler". Give those a shot, at $30 they're well worth the investment!

Rather than spend money on a RAM fan, which doesn't really help much (have a half dozen lying on a shelf for people that like lights in their rigs , they cool very little), be better putting that money to a better set of DRAM, chances of 1866 are small in an OC with that brand of DRAM, and the higher CL that will prob be needed can semi negate any gains you might make, so yes you can try, but if any money laying around, don't waste it on something that's not going to help to any degree
