Memory settings in relation to cpu overclock.

Hi,

Am I right in thinking that if I overclock my cpu (see sig), that I'll have to adjust my memory speeds / settings? My memory is this one :

I thought all I would need to do would be to change the frequency for the cpu, check temps, and that would be it.

Thanks.

Just enable the XMP profile in bios and this will set the memory to it's rated speed, timings and voltage. With mine i done this, then proceeded to oc the cpu.

Thanks for the quick reply, Setter. I'll have a look at that XMP profile thingy, never noticed that before. So, after enabling that setting, I can just leave the memory alone and overclock the cpu as normal?
