I've got you covered, but I need to clarify—overclocking your CPU won't affect your RAM's performance. To safely increase your CPU's speed without risking RAM issues, focus on optimizing the BIOS settings or using compatible overclocking tools. Let me know if you'd like guidance on that!

It varies. Overclocking using only the multiplier won't affect your RAM. However, increasing the BCLK (base clock) will impact your RAM alongside your CPU.
