I recently purchased the following RAM:
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) F3-12800CL7D.
It is rated as 1600MHz. I just built a brand new computer. I went into the BIOS and noticed this RAM is only running at 1333 MHz. I have never overclocked much in my life, therefore I have absolutely no clue how to adjust my system to coax this RAM up to 1600MHz.
The MB supports RAM all the way up to 2200MHz.
I noticed the timings in the BIOS are set at 9-9-9-24, yet, the timings on the package for this RAM say CL7-8-7-24.
Can anyone here help me to get this RAM up to the targeted speed of 1600MHz please?
I noticed in New Egg reviews that many, many people got this RAM to work at 1600 MHz. Yet I cannot find any specific info on how exactly to get there.
Please help me if you can.
Thanks,
Soar
