Hello, regarding your motherboard overclocking guide for MSI MPower MAX AC, I need to check if your RAM can handle stable operation at 1.65V. With your CPU running at 4.7GHz and adjusting down to 4.5GHz, you'll require 2666MHz or higher RAM.

Much like CPUs, what voltage and clock speed will be stable for your RAM depends entirely on your RAM (I guess when you boost RAM clock speed a lot you need to bump the CPU memory controller's voltage too). Since it's already 2133MHz DDR3, there's no point overclocking it. Aside from that shiny high clock speed number that you'll look at once in 3 months at best after you're done, you'll get no performance increase anywhere.
