I have an MSI X58M MS-7593 motherboard. The RAM is Elixir 10600U (6 modules of 2gb at 1333 MHZ each), 12,0GB Triple-Channel DDR3 @ 1333MHz (7-7-7-20) but is working at 534Mhz. Why this? Can i make it work on 1333MHZ??? My CPU is Intel Core i7 930 @ 2.80GHz Bloomfield 45nm Technology. Operating system Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1.
Thanks in advance.

533-534MHz means your DDR3 (Double Data Rate) is working at 533-534MHz x 2 (Double Data) = ~1066MHz.

You may need to OC your RAM in BIOS to make it work on ~1333MHz (i.e., ~1333MHz / 2 = ~666MHz).

Note that achieving such OC speed would depend on the CPU's memory controller, if it can handle such speed and voltage. As you have populated all 6 RAM slots on triple channel (i.e., running 2 sticks on each channel), your CPU (https://ark.intel.com/products/41447/Intel-Core-i7-930-Processor-8M-Cache-2_80-GHz-4_80-GTs-Intel-QPI) may not be able to handle such OC (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=160162.0)
