I'm wondering if I can overclock my G.SKILL Ripjaws (1333) to 1600mhz? Has anyone tried this, and if so, did it work, and did you need some sort of cooling?
You will see ABSOLUTELY NO performance difference in anything. You might get a maximum of .5fps increase in performance if you put it at 2133mhz or something ridiculous like that.
In games, I know you aren't supposed to measure performance in fps. You would see no faster render times or anything with a ram overclock.

In blender, when working with more than a few million polys, it slows down a lot, and when I tried on my friends 1600mhz corsair, it was much faster.

What was his cpu? And was he using cuda or anything like that? Because nothing I have seen has shown noticeable increases in performance. And sandy bridge can't even utilize more than 1333mhz, it doesn't have the controller for faster.

He had an older one, not sure, but I think a higher end core2? I know it starts with a Q. And Blender doesn't use Cuda, unless you're rendering with Cycles or SLG.

I think your mind was playing tricks on you. Did he have more RAM than you?
I have done a lot of experimenting with ram overclocking. I didn't expect to get an insane performance increase but I just wanted to try it out.
my default timings are something like 9-9-9-24 if I remember correctly, and 1300mhz clock speed. I went to 1800mhz with 9-10-9-24 timings and noticed no difference at all. I then went to 800mhz with 5-4-5-16 timings and noticed no difference whatsoever. I kept changing things around and I always had the exact same performance, I also did benchmarks and they did show small improvements but they are extremely small and obviously not noticeable when using your computer.
There is no reason to overclock your RAM imo. All you will accomplish is a shorter life span.

Okay. Thanks for this answer.
