I need a bit of assistance or advice on how to or if i can even OC my 8 Gb DDR3 dual channel Corsair XMS3 1600 MHZ CAS 9 DHX ram to 2000 MHZ.
I am running the ram on a 790i FTW DIGITAL PWM from EVGA with a Q6600 at 3.6 Ghz. I have the ram at 1800 Mhz with timings of 8-8-8-24-T2 with a voltage of 1.9 STABLE. Of course, my board is rated for DDR3 2000 MHZ ram with EPP 2.0. But, ive seen it done with none EPP G skill 1600 mhz ram as well.
if any of you know the right voltage, Timings, or any other clocks on my other components that i should change to get to 2000, please explain and ask others if they'd know as well.
I know if you say "whats the use for Ocing that DDR3? you wont get any performance benefits due to the bottlenecking of the old and ancient FSB bandwidth.". I am only doing this to see if i can actually reach 2000 mhz without having a memory error/BSOD that screws up my system.

Just increase the RAM speed manually to 2000. Set the timings to default and go in small increments. If your PC fails to boot, then just increase the voltage.
unless i get a BSOD from the memory like " memory exception error" or "paged file in a nonpaged area" and my system completely starts shutting down different processes and crashes. i want to know for sure if there is any way to get it there stable.
