Well tha'ts good news. But i search about overclocking Ram in my board and its not good news for me though. I found a thread in this forum in overclocking B85m gamer boards and due to the chipset limitation, overclocking my processor and ram can't be done.

B85 chipset doesn't have overclocking support sadly so it's not possible. I assumed that since you have a "K" processor, you also had a Z87/Z97 chipset with it.

Well my bad. I didn't mention it in the first place. But thanks for helping. So the best option is wait for ryzen 2.

Yeah, or wait for 10nm Ice Lake CPUs but they're due 2019 I believe, same with Ryzen 2. It's Ryzen+ (current Ryzen refresh with hopefully higher clock speeds) that is going to be out near the end of Q1 2018 according to AMD
