    Hi all,
    I'm seeking some opinions and advice from those who are reasonably confident at overclocking components on a system. I've overclocked the GPU to 775/1120 without artifacts, much higher either crashes the system or causes artifacts to start appearing. The CPU is using a bus speed of 103.1MHz with turbo settings overridden to the ones used in that Youtube video some of us are familiar with.

    Anyway, to the point, I recently bought the memory mentioned in the thread title, Kingston KHX 1600Mz DDR3 NonECC SODIMM Memory Module - Kit of 2: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories is the product link. I was wondering if I should do anything much else than what I've done, which is set XMP to use Profile 2.

    Profile 1 has the following settings: 7-7-7-20 at 1333MHz
    Profile 2 has the following settings: 9-9-9-27 at 1600MHz

    Alternatively I can obviously manually specify the above information as separate values which don't use the XMP profiles.

    Let me know your views on this. Many thanks.

    All I have done is set the profile to 2
