Hello.
I bought Crucial Ballistix Tactical 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1866 RAM. My motherboard supports 1600Mhz RAM.

BIOS shows that RAM is running at 1333Mhz. Is changing multiplier to 16 enough to run it at 1600Mhz properly or should I change timings or something too?
Thanks

go into your mobo bios and look for dram settings select manual and then you should be able to manualy set the timings, you should set them to something like this these are usualy the standard timings for 1600
9-9-9-24-34
