Hey guys
My PC specs are
Processor: Core i5 3330
RAM:12GB(khx1600c9d3b1/4g+KINGSTON HYPER X fury 8gb ddr3)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H
GPU:GTX 1060 3gb

So guys my problem is that my khx1600c9d3b1/4g memory module is running at 1333mhz whereas the other hyper X fury is running fine at 1600 MHz but it's speed is lowered to match the speed of the other module.
khx1600c9d3b1/4g I searched the memory's manual and mobo's manual and it shows that it supports x.m.p. even my processor supports x.m.p. but for some reason I don't get an option for xmp in my bios and Its not able to change the frequency manually as the option is greyed out.
I use this pc for gaming. And is there a lot of difference between 1333 and 1600 MHz while gaming. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.
 
Solution
Running two different speed sticks causes them both to default to the lower speed. The only way to change that is to get faster ram and replace the 1333mhz stick. It might effect gaming a little. Unless you want that extra few frames don't mind spending more money I would not worry to much about it.
