Have just purchased 3 x 4GB 1600 DDR3 modules.
When tested there only running at 1066 MHZ. Its the X58 Sabertooth motherboard and only using those 3 modules. Gone into BIOS and AI tweaker and took it off auto to XMP but nothing changed.
Any ideas anyone. Am new to this.
Thanks

I can only guess you didnt buy them in a kit and its causing some issue with their profile. You could try to set them by hand to get them to run at 1600.
