How to overclock Corsair XMS3 ram?

[suprafogg]

Hi everyone, Im currently looking at overclocking my ram to the speed of 1600mhz as advertised, as currently they only seem to be around 800mhz?

Just wondering if anyone can tell me how I should do this?Is there any guides on the forums that give you a good step by step instructions?

Thanks

It is running at 1600MHz.

Programs like CPU-Z will report 800MHz but as it's DDR (Double Data Rate) it's running at 1600MHz.
