Hey guys, I have just built a new i5 720 system, with GA-P55M-UD2 motherboard and XMS3 DDR3 PC3-12800 1600Mhz 8-8-8-24. Easy build, very straight forward. System is running fine, BUT.. I opened CPU-Z to check out the timing of my RAM, and its running at 9-9-9-24, PC3 Max Bandwidth is 10700H (667MHz). I just checked the motherboard book, and supported speeds are 2200/1333/1066/800MHz. So, my 1600MHz are not listed. Does this mean I can never get the full potential out of my RAM? As I have only just purchased the items, I was thinking of sending something back? Or can I upgrade the firmware or something? Or any settings that can be altered? I honestly thought this motherboard supported 1600MHz RAM. If anyone can help me out I would be very grateful. Im a bit lost when it comes down to the nitty-gritty with RAM clocks and stuff. Do I change the RAM, do I change the Motherboard.. etc

I have the GA-Ex58-UD4P MB and OCZ 2000 and it wasn't listed in the manual, it is listed under memory list(2000) on the Gig website. If MB runs to 2200, it should handle the 1600.
