I have 2*2GB G Skill Ripjaws CL7 1600mhz (Blue one) but it's running at 1333mhz (Motherboard: MSI 890GXM)

1) How can I overclock it to run at 1600mhz ?
2) Is it safe to overclock ?
3) Will there be any noticeable performance difference,if I overclock ?

i dont think it will make much of a difference by overclocking frequencies but tighter timings will

Ur MB by default supports 1333 Ram 1600 is supported on OC if u want 1600 u have to manually set if from BIOS >CELL MENU

^^ Done...By Increasing FSB

How can I achieve the same freq. (1600) by tighter timings ?
What timings should I set ?

Find the timings by using CPUZ
BTW ur MB will detect the timinigs through SPD & set automatically according to Freq.
