Ok I have had my i5 760 overclocked with the Asus auto tune in the BIOS for a while, but I figured I could push it farther.(Asus only got it to 3.6Ghz) Anyway I have pushed it up to 4.0Ghz with no problems at all. Actually going off of a guide I originally had it at 4.4Ghz, but I turned that back pretty quick.(Lol you know why...Temps yikes!) Now in order to achieve this I have changed the Bclk to 182 and left the multiplier on auto which puts it up to x22. This results in a frequency of about 4012. Now as you know this lowers my RAM frequency to 1400 ish area. Would it be better if I raised the Bclk and lowered the multiplier to get the RAM clock higher? It is 1600 G.Skill Ripjaws so it can definitely handle more. Thoughts?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Need some overclocking advice

You should be able to change your ram multiplier to raise it up, but it is not necessary. It will probably reduce stability and the increase is only noticeable in synthetic benches, nowhere else.

I say keep the RAM on the current setting.
I have the voltages set to Auto in my board. Here is what it jumps up to under a load though.
@caniba It would put my RAM up to like 1800, which may be a little high for a 1600 module, so I think it would indeed create an instability.
