Help Overclocking RAM to 3200hz - (2 x 16GB)

I recently upgraded my RAM from these G.SKILL Ripjaws V (2 x 8GB) to these G.SKILL TridentZ (2 x 16GB). I've been trying to overclock the TridentZs but haven't been able to get past 2800MHz and stay stable. I haven't OC'd the CPU at the moment if that can be a contributing factor.

 

Anyone have any suggestions for what I can do to reach 3200MHz?

Thanks for the response. Couple of questions.

 

How much of an effect does loosening the timings have on the performance? Is there a point where it's not worth loosening increasing the timings to get a higher speed?

 

Also, I've been increasing the voltage up to 1.3 or so. How much higher is it safe to push?
