The maximum frequency your motherboard supports is 1600Mhz, you can see it in the spec here:

http://www.asus.com/uk/Motherboards/H81MA/specifications/

But don't worry, you can tweak the CAS Latency to improve the speed of your RAM. Keep it at 1600Mhz, and change the SPD settings (on both channels) to 7-9-8-24. Remember that the lower the latency values, the quicker the RAM will run. I have found these SPD values from here:

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/bulldozer-ddr3-overclocking,3209-8.html

If you can get the PC to run with these values (do a stress test to check it is stable) then you wont be losing that much performance compared to if you ran the RAM at 2133Mhz.

Good Luck! Please post to let me know how you get on.
