Hi,
A few days ago i upgraded my system with another set of http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231304.
After running CPUZ, i realized that one set was running at 1600 and the other was 1333 mhz.

My motherboard is a http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/RAMPAGE_II_GENE/.

Can anyone give me a possible solution for running both sets at 1600mhz. I dont have much experience messing with timings and voltages.

Thanks in advance.
Best regards.

Have a feeling if you are running all together you may be looking at the SPD tab of CPU-Z or a like program and what you are seeing is the default boot freq of the stick, the Ripjaws came out originally with a default of 1333 and have since been changed to 1600, if you look at the memory tab of CPU-Z it will show the true freq the DRAM is running at and since this is DDR, DOUBLE data rate it will show half the effective or advertised - i.e. if 1600 sticks should show 800 or so, if showing 667 then all are running at 1333 and , if Intel based mobo, need to go into BIOS , enable XMP and select profile 1, which will put all to 1600 - the defaults ( the 1333 and 1600 you are seeing are simply info from the SPD)

I am personally not familiar with this motherboard, but if you know how to access your BIOS, it would be in there. Look for something along the lines of RAM, and it should show you the frequencies they are running on and what cl they are running.
Just incase you don't know how to enter into the bios here would be how. [Link]
Just look for your processor and then hit go, and download the latest version.

Thanks a lot for the quick reply.

It solved my issue. I went to BIOS and selected XMP profile#1 and now everything running at 1600mhz.
You were right and i was looking at SPD tab. After entering BIOS i realized that the default frequency was 1066mhz. :S
So now after i made the changes my system is running as it should.

Once again thanks to Tradesman1 and CCapG for the quick replies and help.
