help with ram setup sabertooth 990fz r2.0

Solution
Where are you getting this 866 number? I ask b/c there are lots of programs that you have to double the number in order to get an actual answer. CPU-Z for example if you don't have it download it. Only pay attention to the MEMORY tab, and double the number that shows the frequency.

you should just drop them in the two same colored slots and it should just work out of the box. If your processor isn't capable of 1333 MHz you might have to go into bios and manually lower the speed. If this doesn't fix things, tell us which cpu you have, and what the issue is so we can actually help
