why does any attempt to overclock my RAM result in a Dr. Debug error?

In acme's chair.
My Corsair Vengeance Black 1600MHz (9,9,9,24) is running perfectly fine in the two B slots on my motherboard (Asrock Extreme4 Gen3 Z68), but when i attempt to overclock it (e.g 1866MHz @ 1.575v) the system doesn't boot and i recieve error code 45 on the Dr. Debug LCD. I then have to clear the cmos and re-load my profile in the bios.

I had a similar problem with overclocking my CPU resulting in a Dr. Debug error 70 when i tried to clock to 4.6GHz and 4.8Ghz, but 4.7GHz worked absolutely fine (i am limited to 4.7GHz because of my motherboard being a douche not because of anything else)

Does anyone have a workaround?
 
I had a set of that memory,they don't overclock very well unless you use silly amounts of dram voltage,then you risk degrading your CPU or damaging it
