I want to overclock my ADATA RAM modules but I've read that they have a bit of heat issue. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with these modules in order to help me a bit.

Why do you wanna overclock the RAM? Is the CPU overclocked?

Well, if you have a heat issue, you should install RAM heatspreaders if you have not already. Also make sure the modules have some kind of ventilation.
For overclocking your ram, I dont know the layout of your bios, but you would need to be able to select a different DDR speed independent of the CPU's bus speed. Some motherboards support this, some dont.
Now, be aware if you are trying to overclock your ram on an AMD system, the memory controller is integrated inside the CPU so your probably going to have very few options. The ram will most likely stretch further than the memory controller can.
