[Solved] Corei5 + 1600mhz ram

Hi guys i just build my new system its a corei5 with 4gb 1600mhz ocz memory.Motherboard is asus p7p55d.
The memory is only recognized as 1066mhz and i have to set it to 1600mhz manually from bios with the help of asus' easy DRAM OC Mode.
Is there any risks of doing so or any performance gains?Why is the system seeing the rams as 1066mhz when everything is on auto/default?

As long as you stay within specs and your motherboard supports it, you're good to go.

Ok this is making me curious.I read on the net that core i5 supports only 1333mhz memory and anything higher will run in single channel.And that I have to overclock to fix it or sth.So what should I overclock the cpu or the ram?And what the heck is BCLK?

Ok what I am asking is do I have to overclock my CPU(increase BCLK or some memory multiplier) to make the rams run at 1600mhz instead of 1066mhz?

Ok thanks mate I will try it asap.

You need to manually set the timings and voltage or the system won't be stable.

Yes, that's what I was trying to say in my last post. You have to manually set all the RAM values (speed, timings, and voltage). The system won't be stable otherwise.
