I built a new computer a couple of weeks ago
Intel i5-4690k
Asrock Z97 extreme4
EVGA GTX 780
Samsung 850pro 256G
G.SKILL RipjawsZ DDR3-1866 4096MBX4 CL8-9-9-24 1.5V
Seasonic Gold 1050
Antec 900 Case
The Manual states that the Memory should auto read but is showing up as DDR3-1600. I have never manually installed so I am looking for help in this area. To be truthful I do not understand the language in the BIOS. Would appreciate help in this area.

Thank You

Go into the BIOS and set the XMP Profile (usually under some overclocking section) and you'll be done.

When you buy something advertised as DDR3-1866 that means it can be overclocked with 1 click safely in BIOS.
