Hi
Just bought some 8GB G-skull DDR-3 2133 PC3-1700 (CL11-11-11-30) but my gigabyte ga-990fxa-ud3 rev 4.0 motherboard is only running it at 1600. Does anyone know how i can get my motherboard to run it at 2133 or 1866 please.

You will probably only be able to get it to run at 1866MHz max with that CPU; I haven't heard of many FX processors being able to run RAM at anything over 1866 unfortunately :( But look at the sticker on your RAM and then go into BIOS and manually input those values and if it does work, it'll boot into Windows, if it doesn't it will fail to POST and reset the RAM settings and then boot up.
