Do I need to adjust these RAM settings?

I bought shiny new Kingston HyperX Fury RAM 2x8GB to upgrade my system. It's supposed to set the correct clock speeds itself, but I cannot tell if it has, so I have taken some screenshots.

My system: Win 7 64bit, i5-3570 mobo, 16GB DDR3 RAM.

Kingston site says these are the specs:

Speccy says my system is set to this:

Looks good. It's currently running at 1600mhz.

It can run faster also - has SPD values for 1776mhz operation.
With some manual ram tweaking in BIOS can probably go up to 1866mhz.

Thanks SkyNetRising,

Do those tweaks you suggest compromise stability at all? I value stability a little more than speed, so I'm just wondering if the speed increase would cause any problems--if they do, are they worth it?

Thanks!

Performance difference between 1600mhz and 1866mhz modes is rather insignificant. Noticeable maybe only in memory benchmarks.
If you're not familiar with ram parameter tuning, then just leave as it is. Also it is not guarantied, that your motherboard even allows ram parameter tuning.This usually is feature for OC oriened boards.
