    Heck, I would've answered this question the first time I saw it, but I thought it was so silly, that I didn't bother.

    Your motherboard has the capability to run the ram completely independant of the FSB, so it will really have nothing to do with your overclock at all.

    That is unless you're running linked and synched in your bios.

    You're runnning my old mobo, so I do have some experience OCing that board Wink

    they are giving bios fixes for a 1333 fsb support, you can get faster ram but I dought is worth paying the extra money for a little higher o/c on air, the only thing you could possibly gain with is liquid cooling or a better hsf, your not going to go much past 3.2 - 3.6 depending on the cpu and video cards only get bottle necked at 3.4ghz by the cpu, its your call, what is your overclock on your cpu as of now and you will always get a better o/c when you cpu is burned in which takes 2-6 weeks
