My motherboard doesnt show 2133 ram

[bestlink101]

I have a gigabyte motherboard, it says my ram rate is at 1600mhz

Welcome to Tom's Forums!

The RAM will not simply run at 2133 MHz by default ('SPD'). First, Gigabyte's are notorious for post failures using XMP, but you can try setting it in the BIOS.

2133 11-11-11-30-2N @ 1.50v

BIOS {easy method}:
Extreme Memory Profile (X.M.P.) -> Profile 1 ; fingers crossed

BIOS {manually}:
Extreme Memory Profile (X.M.P.) -> Disabled
Performance Enhance -> Extreme
DRAM Timing Selectable -> Quick
Channel A Timing Settings /Enter use A if RAM is in A or B DIMM Slots
CAS Latency Time -> 11
tRCD -> 11
tRP -> 11
tRAS -> 30
...
Command Rate (CMD) -> 2
--
QPI/Vtt Voltage -> Auto ; failure 1.15~1.20v {depends on RAM behavior}
DRAM Voltage -> 1.50 ; failure 1.55~1.60v {depends on RAM behavior}

Next, use CPU-z http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html and look at the DRAM Frequency it should have apx 1066± MHz depending on your Base Clock {98~105 MHz} plus the '11-11-11-30-2N'.

Good Luck!

Thanks!!!! It worked XD
I did the first step

Good to know, and if you have any problems then you have a Plan 'B'.

Next, you should run Memtest for 1-2 hours; use the ISO/zip and create a bootle CD/DVD -> http://www.memtest.org/

Good Luck!

Step 1 did give me problems, it made my computer restart and gave me bsod, should i do the 2nd option? For now i made it to how it was before and no more crashing.

Yep, Option 2 BIOS {manually} then Memtest.

Good Luck!

i couldnt get option 2 to work, i think i did somethign wron

run it at 1600mhz, or 1333mhz, it will be cooler and the frequency doesn't effect performance much, also it increases the lifespan of the RAM if you lower the freq
