I have just built the above system, installed latest bios, but the ram will only run @ 1333mhz.
You can change the speed manually (to 1600) in the bios but then it won't reboot.
I know you can run @ 1600 with this board/cpu ??

any ideas,


thanks

LOL! Sorry to be so blunt.

And also sorry that you can't run at the speed you wanted. If you ever find yourself an i5-2500k then you could upgrade it. To be honest though you probably wouldn't have noticed a huge difference even at 1600Mhz. Your platform is more limited by the CPU than by the RAM. (i.e. it doesn't matter how fast you can feed the CPU new data if the CPU is taking its time chewing on the last stuff). You would get a more significant improvement if you had a highly OC'ed CPU which you can't do on a 2400... even then you probably wouldn't really notice much.

If you want a real perceivable boost to your speed a SSD is the best upgrade you can give a relatively modern computer
