you need to change it in your bios..what mother board you using?

groundrat · May 17, 2013

Depends. Need to know your motherboard and processor as well.

yup can be over clocked. you have cpu-z installed?. if so follow this

Edit: use cpu-z to check the ram profiles and how low it can go and use that as your basics"

I also have Corsair Vengeance RAM at 1600MHz. All I needed to do was to load the XMP profile from BIOS and that was it. No need to do manual OC.

where and how can i load the XMP? I heard that's a possibility

Liamrox287 :

Dont know about that i created my own profile and saved it.

Liamrox287 :

You can load the XMP profile in BIOS. Just browse for advanced settings, or OC section (the memory frequency part) and you should find some item to load profile. Load whatever you have available (for me, it was Profile1).

LE: XMP profile is different from BIOS profile. XMP profile is a configuration set for your RAM which is stored on the sticks themselves and contains information about frequency and latencies. Upon loading this profile (possible only on Ivy Bridge platform: CPU&chipset), the motherboard will set the corresponding items according to this information.

I don't know what is a ud5 board, but I think Liamrox287 said:

According to the specs, this mobo supports the loading of XMP profile.

EXtreme Memory Profile (X.M.P.) has been developed by intel and it will work only on the latest intel platforms (so not on AM3+, unfortunately). More information on wikipedia.
