Was this a good idea?

So I have Corsair Vengeance LP memory that supports XMP profile. (This is the memory I have http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7526012&CatId=11478)

 

For the most part I had been running my memory at 1600Mhz. For just to test something I overclocked it to 1800Mhz. The UEFI Bios didn't change the timings or voltage. The memory is designed to overclock to 1600Mhz when you enable XMP. The timings are 9-9-9-24 at 1.5 volts. Was it safe to up the clock to 1800Mhz with the same 9-9-9-24 at 1.5 volts?

 

EDIT: I did some test rendering, then I tried Minecraft since that's memory intensive, and so far, my computer has been fine.

I guess the better question is, is it ok to run it at that speed? Even if it's above the designed speed.

yeah its like overclocking a CPU or GPU to above normal speed

as long as its stable it should be safe

^ This, well, not if you pump way too much voltage into them. :P

What I am trying to find out is. Do I need to change the voltage or timings with that kind of Mhz speed? It's designed for 1600Mhz but does going over that to 1800Mhz require more tuning, or will my Bios automatically configure all that as needed? Is there anything I need to worry about by doing that kind of speed?

Every kit of ram is different, some companies make ram that overclock like shit, other companies like Samsung has ram that is a great overclocker... Just try the stock settings and 1800MHz, it might take a long time to find something stable, but you'll find it eventually.

I think the point of my question is being completely missed altogether. Let me try to explain again. The Corsair Vengeance LP memory has XMP profiling that allows you to overclock to 1600Mhz. I want to overclock to 1800Mhz. Should the timings of 9-9-9-24 dropped down, and does the voltage need to go up in order to run at 1800Mhz. Or, can I overclock it to 1800Mhz and not have to change the timings or voltages? Or, can the memory run at 1800Mhz without any change to timing or voltage? 

 

EDIT: Can anyone on here who knows what their talking about please help me? I'm not getting the answer I need.
