Here's my setup:

CPU: Intel i3-4160
MB: MSI Z97 PC MATE
Mem: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) F3-1600C9D-16GXM

However the BIOS tells me that the memory runs at 1333. Some previous posts and online articles point me to the BCLK, but the CPU supports DDR3 1600 according to Intel's website. Wondering why... Thanks a lot.

1333Mhz is what your cpu is rated at that's why bios will set your ddr3 at this speed on default.
No big deal just change it in bios to wwhatever ddr3 you have.
Let us know if you need help on how to
