i5 760 overclocking advice

I decided to overclock my CPU, nothing too much, just to get him a bit "alive", it's 5+ years old.

In my research i found that Intel don't allow on consumer/server board overclock, you can overclock it just a bit.

And i managed to OC CPU to 3.6Ghz (180*20 ) getting RAM to 1440Mhz.(multiplier set to 8)

Because i5 760 max RAM speed is 1330Mhz(i found this in specs), does that mean that i now overclocked RAM also, or just i increase max RAM speed.

It makes me confused.

PC specification:

Intel DP55WG

i5 760

8GB 1600Mhz Elixir

HD 6870 Powercolor

Please bear in mind that Intel does not provide overclocking information, this is out of scope of support.

 

You will be able to overclock unlocked processors. Based on your processor specifications, you have a locked unit.
