    My ram is this.
    Also they are 2x4gb so they won't OC like 2gb ones. well, that's what I heard.
    Unfortunately, due to the variability between individual hardware, there is no true across the board settings to abide by. For one thing, the ram timings that are advertised by G.Skill may not be the best settings for your specific hardware, and I don't understand why they include that info to begin with. I'm surprised/jealous that you are able to hit 4.6 ghz with a vCore at 1.305, and I don't see why you'd want to go any higher. A lot of people think the higher they can get their processing speed up to, the faster their system will run. I disagree with this strongly, as I've found my computer runs at its best at 4.4ghz all around, even though I know I can hit 5 ghz no problem. It's also a good way to ensure the longest possible lifespan of your processor.
    Also, overclocking your ram is something that should be done with a lot of care and experience. It's kind of an art, because finding that sweet spot when you start raising the ram voltage can be a tiring process.

    Edit: Lovin the Bios, system stability is incredible:
