Will you be overclocking higher than 850, and if so is your RAM at the moment a limiting factor?

I would have thought the timings could be tightened no probs, but havent used that RAM before so cant really comment on how well they can be overclocked etc.

Would love to go back to watercooling but wouldnt know where to start with all the different parts. The last one i got on my Sckt A was a premade basic kit from a competitor (sort of).
