Hello all!
I just completed a build and cannot seem to change the RAM settings in the bios. The system says that my DDR3 is 1333mhz when it clearly is not. I have tried enabling XMP profile but my system then boots continuously with the mobo showing a red LED next to the RAM. The odd thing is..when I enable xmp profile for the RAM it shows the exact same recommended settings as the manufacturer (crucial). I am puzzled.
Can anyone help? I have not yet contacted Asus as they have a massive questionaire that must be filled out before I can ask this Q.
This is irritating as I buiilt the machine to play BF4 with ultra settings on a 144hz monitor
Hope someone can help. Many thnaks in advance for any replies!
