If I understand your problem, you think you bought 1600 RAM, but your motherboard sets 1333 speeds, yes?

If so, you actually bought overclocked RAM advertised to run at 1600 speeds under some particular timing and voltage conditions. The motherboard is reading the contents of the little SPD chip (google it) and detecting 1333 RAM.

Setting the timing values and voltage may help.

I did this, the timings are set to what they are listed as. But my OC% says 733, is that dangerous?
