ok so my i5 760 is at 4.2ghz stable, but i am pretty sure my ram is all out of wack now and I will be honest I understand how to over clock gpu and cpu with voltages core memory ect but when it comes to memory and timing i have no clue whats going on.

I will link you want ram i have and All i would like is to get it to run at stock speed if possible or a slight OC to the ram but nothing more.

anyone who feels they can help me understand what i need to do or maybe just suggest how to set it up I would greatly appreciate it.

oh i wanted to mention aswell, in the bios under the dram it has different freq to select, right now i put it on auto cuz i was unsure but the options i have are

2100 / 1680 / 1260

also in cpuz it shows 632mhz with a 2:6 FSB

and one last thing that confused me even more, when i did benchmark with 3dmark11 it shows my memory as

Memory
4096 MB
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Module 1
2048 MB Corsair 9 @ 667 MHz


Module 2
2048 MB Corsair 9 @ 667 MHz

thanks in advanced!@!
 
The problem is that ram speed goes up with bclk. So u can only lower the memory multiplier. Your other issue is your slow speed ram.
 
so then what should i do?

tried to use the 2100mhz setting and the computer didn't want to boot, i guess it failed.
 
Of course it did you have 1333Mhz memory. Why would you believe 2100Mhz would work?

I mentioned to set memory multi to lowest setting. But your memory is slow so you dont have much headroom is what I will say again. In order to resolve that, buy faster memory (ddr3 1600Mhz).
