If I select System memory multiplier I can change it to 8.00, 16.00, etc...
If I choose 16.00 I believe it sets it to 1600 Mhz. I can then see 1333 (The "normal" operating frequency) and 1600 right next to it.

Not sure on this, my gigabyte board is more specific. But I'm on an AMD system.

Do I choose yes or no? I assume I choose no... But, I'm not sure.

You will want a good cooler on your cpu to OC it. I wouldn't do it with the stock cooler.

That's going to happen. Timings will change at faster speeds.

You may not need to change it. Once the ram speed is set for 1600mhz it may automatically set the ram at 1.65v
Your ram's spd is 1.65 at 1600mhz, default is 1.5v at 1333mhz. The system will use default and the ram will run at that speed and voltage when initially installed.
