My set up: Crucial Ballistix Tactical LP 1.35 at 1600MHz, Pentium G3258 and ASUS VANGUARD B85.

The UEFI BIOS allows for a maximum 1400 Mhz ram speed. It should be at least 1600.
All 3 components ( MB, ram and microProc ) support higher speeds, above 1866, in other setups.
( eg. Vanguard + i5 or Z97 MotherBoard + Pentium G3258, etc )
My BIOS is up to date. Any solution or work around to alter bCLK, or mem multiplier?

Thank you

can you provide a link to prove that point?

The highest rated ram speeds supported by your processor is 1333MHz. While your motherboard's maximum supported frequency is 1600MHz. The memory controller is on your CPU and if it can't go beyond 1333MHz then you're just pushing it at 1400MHz. Getting a new processor which supports 1600MHz out of the box will be your best performance and investment gain.
