Hi Kchips,
according to your motherboard specs your motherboard will only accept Support for 1333+ (O.C.)/1066 MHz memory modules

The motherboard does not have any kind of XMP feature which automatically sets the memory parameters to encode higher-performance memory timings. Leaving the Memory Clock at [Auto] sets memory to conservative SPD (Serial Presence Detect) settings. To run the memory at 1600MHz frequency would require you to manually set the Memory Clock. Manually setting DRAM Timings, and Dram Voltage would also be advised.
The BIOS:
Set Memory Clock
Determines whether to manually set the memory clock. Auto lets BIOS automatically set the memory clock
as required. Manual allows the memory clock control item below to be configurable. (Default: Auto)
Memory Clock
This option is configurable only when Set Memory Clock is set to Manual. Options are: X4.00, X5.33,
X6.66, X8.00
(Note) This item is present only when you install a CPU that supports this feature
You would need to manually set the memory clock to [X8.00] for 1600MHz, [X6.66] for 1333MHz.
DRAM Timing are the first three or four settings starting with CAS# latency.

The motherboard supports very high memory clocks, it's the CPU that makes the difference. It's just marketed wrong. FX series chips will support upto 1866 and overclock to 2133 or higher. Older chips will support 1333 and overclock to 1866 or higher. That's why the board only lists 1333 because that's the older chip info.
You have to go into BIOS and change settings to go higher than 1333.

I get it that the ram downclcks but apart frm that does the 1600mhz ram works on gigabyte ga-78-lmt usb3 mobo without any glitch ????? I need proper n accurate answer b4 i purchase

1600mhz ram works fine on that board.
It will default to 1333mhz as standard.
Once you've installed windows,run cpu-z - read the SPD tab for 1600mhz,write down the latency timing values.
Boot to bios & set the ram speed & latency timing values manually & it will run at 1600mhz with no problems.

Even i faced the same problem . The PC had a boot failure everytime on changing to 1600Mhz. I had to change it back to 1333 again. Do i have to do anything else ?? Please help me out guys.. I ve a PC with FX-6300, 78lmt-USB3 and corrsair vengeance 4gb 1600 Mhz RAM.

Install & run cpu-z.
Open the SPD tab.
Write the timings+voltage down in order from the 800/1600mhz tab (last tab)
Boot to bios
Set ram speed to 1600mhz
I cannot remember exact steps as I haven't built with the board since last year.
Open dram configuration menu.
Timings/latencies
Enter those numbers into the timings options one at a time in order top to bottom.
Save & reboot.
