I have got the following rams:

http://www.corsair.com/en/vengeance-8gb-dual-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cmz8gx3m2a1600c9

My PC specs are:
Core i5 2400
Motherboard: AsRock H61m u3s3

Now, when I go to BIOS, the only option that I get for overclocking the RAM is 1333mhz...

How to make this ram work on 1600mhz?

This limitation is because of my processor supporting 1333mhz only or what?


Is there any way I can make them run on 1600mhz with latency set to 9-9-9-24 and Voltage 1.5v?

Actually there is no voltage as 1.5 in my settings and no 1600mhz.

There is only 1333 mhz... If not 1600 then how what should be the settings for 1333mhz???

It's currently set to AUTO(1066)mhz.

Enable XMP.

Your motherboard supports 1600MHz so that should work. If it doesn't then perhaps there is no profile in the BIOS. Sometimes updating to the latest BIOS can add that (for XMP) otherwise you'd have to overclock manually though there's no point if XMP works.

Update:
The web site for your motherboard says it supports 1600MHz dual-channel. However, the MANUAL only shows support up to 1333MHz.

So that means I can't go beyond 1333mhz right?

How to make it work at even 1333 mhz?

What should be the latency and the voltage for 1333 mhz?

Bios is up to date and there is no XMP.

Okay, 9-9-9-26 is fine but what should be the voltage for it?
