Hello

Just what kind of speeds are you looking for? The increase the frequency in small increments will require changing the BCLK, and that pushes up your CPU frequency, there is not much gain to be had there in truth.

The other method is to select the next divider up, so in your case that would be 1866MHz, will your ram do that? I have no idea and that is what you are going to have to find out.
