So I have an MSI H81I with Click Bios 4 and it won't let my 1600MHz RAM run at full speed, only 1333. I've went into the OC settings and in memory Z I can look at the XMP profiles but I can't do anything to change the speeds. What should i do?

What CPU? It's possible you have a CPU that can't handle 1600...but easiest way to try is go to the advanced section and Enable XMP if there''s and option presented to select a profile, pick profile 1 and give it a try - XMP should set the sticks up for you
