Hi, I have the following mobo AsusM5A88-EVO. The specs mention the following about the RAM supported " 4 x DIMM, Max. 16GB, DDR3 2000(O.C.)/1866(O.C.)/1600(O.C.)/1333/1066 MHz Memory".
Now the problem is due to unavailability of RAM modules I could only get a 8X1 GB G.Skill RipjawsX(DDR3-1866) where as what i should have got is 4X2 GB Ripjaws. Now you see that the maximum clock cycle of the RAM module is pretty high. When i plug in the 8gb module in mobo, the machine boots fine but ram speed shows up as 677. Setting any higher speed than that from the boot menu, the boot fails ( CPU is not OCed at any time).
My question is "Is there no way to get at least a decent clock cycle on the RAM, may be not the maximum but something decent"?
