Have two sets I've been trying to bench but I don't have a clue what I'm doing and setting the fsb in bios yields me a locked computer and upon restart I get overclock failed on the first set of 1600mhz @ 1866mhz. I have no clue what to do from this point and my attention span has been burned out with this mess. I've read overclocking guides but everything in each one is way over my head and I don't understand any of it so meh

4x4gb GSkill Ripjaws Z 1600MHZ (0160)
01xx - Micron
0140/0160

4X4gb GSkill Ripjaws X 1866MHZ (1800)
x800 - Elpida
0800/1800
3800 MxH-E Hyper

That's where they sit on the charts. I can't get the heat spreaders off to see exactly which chips they have. My thoughts were to keep the lower benching set because I just don't bench for my life. Then flip the other set to make back some money on a combo deal I did on Anandtech with a MIVE and 2600K. I only purchased the combo for the cpu and expected to flip the board easily along with the ram once I got it benched. (Keeping one kit or the other.)

I'm about to just put up one of the kits for sale and call it done because I don't know what I'm doing with memory benching and don't understand it.

Benching my cpu and trying to get it stable over 50x100 pretty much burned me out and today is probably the last cool day we have until fall so yea.
