Now, i'm pretty new to OC'ing. Through various websites' help, I was able to overclock my 2600k to 4.5GHz (which was easy enough thanks to ASUS's EFI GUI Bios). But I'm really stumped as to why my board pitches a fit when I try to OC the RAM.
I bought this RAM Newegg.com - G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-14900CL9D-8GBSR in hopes of it to work @ 1866MHz.
This is the board I have. Newegg.com - ASUS P8Z68-V LE LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
The second I put try to adjust the RAM speed through the bios (even 1MHz over 1600), the computer gives me an "overclocking failed" post message.
I'm just not sure I understood what the (O.C.) after 1866 meant when I bought the board, but I thought it would be possible to get to it. I know this is kind of a vague problem (you can ask any questions you need and I'll answer them to the best of my knowledge), but can someone tell this über-noob why he's so stupid (...please?).
