My Ram isn't supported by my motherboard but it works at 1333mhz instead of 1866 (I can get the latency if needed).

I want to get 2x8gb sticks of memory to fill up all four slots figuring out timing voltage and speeds is not my area of expertise. I know about them and how to change them but not what to change them to so if anyone could help me figure out 2 things.

1. how to fix my clock speed to 1866 for what I have now
2. what ram to get that would play nice so that I can get 24gb and maybe what timings.


MoBo: Sabertooth z87

CPU: I7 4770k

Ram: 8gb 2x4gb Ram Pny ( 1866 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820178412 )

GPU: Gigabyte GTX 970

PSU:Thermatake 850 black widow

SSD: 240gb seagate wolf

HDD: 4x 300gb

To get your memory to run at the higher speeds it is capable of operating at, you simply enable the correct XMP (Extreme Memory Profile) profile for the memory installed. The setting to do this is in your BIOS. Read the manual, it will explain this to you.
If you want to add 2 more sticks, get 2 more sticks of EXACTLY the same thing you have now, except in larger 8 gig size sticks.

Mixing DRAM isn't guaranteed, especially with disparate sets(sticks like you are looking at). I'd try and get what you have running, then wit till you can get a set of 2x8GB in a single package so it's guaranteed to work, rather than try this one stick at a time - Manufacturers 'guarantee' sticks by the individually packaged set
