Hello, this might just be in the wrong area but i was wondering if anyone had a link to a guide or knew how to set up my MSI 890FXA-GD70 board to run the CORSAIR DOMINATOR GT (Model CMT4GX3M2A2133C9).

Thanks, Carl

Hi Carl, Welcome to the board!
If the RAM does not set itself at 2133, this is the easy way to do it, which works 90% of the time;
download CPUZ, install, look at the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) tab, see what the timings and voltage are for the speed you want, reboot into BIOS and set those parameters.

So i will be able to boot up with the 2133 but it wont be ideal? can i find the ideal parameters online somewhere?

I did not say that. Set BIOS memory timing and voltage to SPD and you should be fine. The worst that can happen is it won't boot and you may have to go into BIOS again and raise voltage or loosen tRAS a notch.
Start a new thread after you do that if you have problems, someone here will jump right in.
