Need some help Oc'ing my ram, anyone?

Need some help Oc'ing my ram to  removing potential bottlenecks and in general just to learn a bit more about ram Ocing. 
Im 100% noob when it comes to ram, so id love some explination on what timeings mean what etc. 

the ram im using is Hyperx Fury CL14 2133mhz. my target frequenzy is 3200mhz. i did find one guy that had oc'd his cl14 2133mhz to 3200mhz.
but the post he made was some time ago, and not enough explanatory for me to follow into "copying settings" 

heres a link: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-3093043/hyperx-fury-ddr4-2133-question.html

should be one of the first posts.

I personally won't overclock the ram to more than it is sold for. Due to memory glitches form overclocking there can be not only bluescreens, but file corruptions as well. 

 

If you want faster ram, you should get it from the shop. 

 

And to go over the "limits" of the tech specs. 

 

Look at my computer config in the signature. The cpu should only be able to use 1600, but the board can use much faster ram. So I went with 2133 which gave in comparison to the 1600 ram a boost that was not only measurable but as well been felt, so not only a number in a benchmark. 

 

With that said, to be on the safe side get faster ram sticks and don't overclock those. Even if 200 people in different message boards say "I did it, no worries all is fine"
