I feel very much a newb when it comes to building a PC, especially with RAM. I'm having issues with trying to increase the Frequency to 2333MHz from what appear to be default: 1333MHz.
Specs:
Mobo: A88XM-Plus CSM
APU: AMD A8-6600K
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LP (2X4GB, 8 GB kit, advertised at DDR3 2333MHz)
Windows 7 OS (64bit)
750W PSU
I've slotted one of each stick in Channel A1 & B1 and the BIOS Reads 8GB with a default of 1333MHz. I attempted to use the BIOS AI Tweaker to adjust Memory Frequency to DDR3-2133MHz and the MemOK! lamp lit up. I pushed the MemOK! button and tried switching to 1866MHz in AI Tweaker, this time the PC failed to boot but the MemOK! button was not lit. I restarted and switched back to Auto (1333MHz), the computer restart but with system repair recommendation.
Additional steps taken:
-Used ASUS AI Suite 3 to look for updated BIOS, but I have most current.
-Also used AI Suite 3 to "Auto Tune," which resulted in 4.4GHz from the APU.
Any guidance would be appreciated!
