I am a little confused about ram and overclocking in my ivybridge. In the old days i oc from the FSB and good ram was necessary. With my IV i5 i just whacked the multiplier up to a level where i considered the temps safe for d2d operation (63C at full tilt and everything going).

I was messing around in the bios and noticed that my ram xmp profile was disabled. Before i change anything should i put profile 1 on and accept the changes to the multiplier etc? What performance increases can be had from this? And is better ram a way to achieve better oc or is there a guide i can read?

Many thanks for any help.
 
What is the point of extra fast ram with i5 chips? Does it allow the multiplier to go higher? A little confused so a quick 101 course would help me if you know of 1.
