Alright guys, had my computer from OCUK for around a month now and looking to get the most out of it!

Specs are as follows;

Asus Rampage IV Extreme
Intel Core i7-3930K 3.20GHz
Gainward 580GTX 3GB
Corsair Dominator 16GB 2133mhz

I think that's all you need to know at the minute, but i've got one problem to solve before even thinking of overclocking! My memory runs at 1333mhz, not 2133mhz? And when I try and put it up to 2133 on the bios it comes up with overclocking failed? That needs fixed kinda!

But any programs I need to download for you guys to help me overclock this beast just let me know! Thanks in advance!
 
in the memory section of your BIOS there should be an option to configure RAM via XMP somewhere, this will load the RAM at it's rated speeds, which may increase volts a little, you may also need to up the memory controller voltage on CPU a tiny bit for it to work

This worked! Thanks a lot mate! What about general overclocking? What's it safe to go to on my processor?
