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
Steve M

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.

Generally 2, enable XMP then select the Profile (generally profile 1)
