Motherboard: Asus H81M-A LGA1150
RAM: HyperX FURY 2x8GB DDR3 1866Mhz CL10 Kit

So basically I tried to look for my ram's Mhz and it was set on 1600mhz and my ram's mhz is 1866.
I tried to boost / change my mhz through the bios but I couldn't get any option higher than 1600mhz, tried to look up for tutorials in youtube but couldn't find my model, it could be because my model doesn't support XMP since it's older than the newer versions of the motherboard, so my question is if there's any option to get my actual ram's mhz and not the 1600 which is currently set up.
 
Solution
Your mobo only supports ram frequencies up to 1600. So you will not be able to get it any higher.

Per the manual: * Due to Intel® chipset limitation, DDR3 1600 MHz and higher memory modules on XMP mode will run at the maximum transfer rate of DDR3 1600 Mhz.

Yes, it will stay at 1600 until you upgrade your mobo.
