hi my build is a asus m5a99fx pro r.20 , xfx dd r7870 taiti le , xfx 850 w psu , rip jawsf3-17000cl11d-8gbxl

I have a ram question i bought this ram since the qvl list for my board was very limited for 2133 mhz ram and it was not on the list , the ram is stable but
i had pc worlds best ddr3 1333 mhz in the pc ,when i do a benchmark on passmark software i don't find a huge improvement in my new ram, my cpu is over clocked to 4.8ghz stable with a evo 212 cooler (thanks for the recommendation guys) is this just a amd thing or am i better sending it back and trying 2400 mhz ram khx2400klu-4gx(381850 ) off my list or should i not push it any further than 2133 ram. i don't want too much more on my system but i want the fastest ram that i can run but don't want to spend over 120 pound i like to buy from amazon as i'm in Ireland thanks

What is the memory currently running at, can check in CPU-Z in the memory tab, if freq shows 667 it at the default of 1333, 800 would = 1600, 933=1866, 1066 would have it at spec of 2133.......What CPU? at 4.8 guessing it's an 8350, the DRAM might run at 2133 but to be effective will take a CPU/NB voltage increase as well as a DRAM voltage increase in all likelyhood, the 8350 is rated up to 2 sticks of 1866 (and even at that the MC (memory controller can have problems with the freq)

should i keep this ram rip jawsf3-17000cl11d-8gbxl or send it back and pay a little more and get ddr 2400 4x 2gb which is om my qvl list , Or can some recommend the fastest ram for my motherboard that does'nt cost too much (as the gskills for €260 as been way too expensive on my list) .I'll give you the info on the ram kingston khx2400c11d3k4/8gx(xmp) motherboard asus m5a99fx pro r2.0 thanks guys
