So my dad handed over his ASUS desktop to me and my brother is giving me his GTX 560 ti (2GB) and I just recently bought myself a new 500W PSU and decided to upgrade the standard 4GB ram to these pretty things since they were on sale for $57

Im wondering if it is at all possible to use that ram's intended speed with my ASUS p8h61-m PRO mobo. It seems all the OC functions are locked up and the ram is running at the standard 1333MHz. Do i need to get another motherboard that can support it or can I find myself a new unlocked BIOS chip to replace? Or is there something else I can do?
Any help would be appreciated.
ps. If the only way to use the full speed is to buy a new supported motherboard, then i'm not going to bother with it.
