Hello people i have an issue for a while now i've been trying to change the frequency of my ram from 1333 to 1600 but it just doesn't allow me to change it. any help would be nice.
ps: ill upload all the specifics from mobo - memory according to CPU-Z and the pic from bios.

Nevermind. I found it in the pics you posted. It looks like you are running this memory: http://www.corsair.com/en/cmx8gx3m2a1600c9

The Ivy Bridge memory controller defaults to 1333MHZ memory speed. BUt by increasing the memory multiplier as you did, you are now running at 1600MHZ. You are fine.
