Overclocking Memory/CPU

[JagGonzo86]

I just tried to do a little overclocking as far as my ram by trying to increasing the speed from 1866 to 2133(The only change I made). When I restarted the comp. nothing happened (No MoBo logo, POST) I turned off the computer completely then turned it back on. As it started powering on a screen came up stating the the overclock failed. Any idea where I went wrong? I am running an ASUS ROG CROSSBLADE RANGER FM2+ AMD A88X and G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866.. Please help me. Any help would be awesome!

Depends on RAM speed supported by ur ram, or mobo,

Also, usualy, you have an optino, XMP , for xtreme memory profile, its a default set up for max speed supported made by intel.
Turn that on, and your good

I Know about the XMP. I couldn't remember if I had done that when I initially built my computer. I did see that the MoBo can go further by a good amount. I read on newegg for the memory that it can go further as well, as long as I tweak it right... Think I should be increasing the voltage a little more? should I try overclocking the CPU first then go to the memory?
