Incorrect Memory Speed

[charon711]

I just built a new budget gaming system, and my motherboard is showing incorrect speed for my memory. I have the ASRock H61M/U3S3 motherboard and Mushkin Enhanced Silverline 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666).

My UEFI shows that its set to 1066 and the only other option it gives me is 800. According to newegg though it should take 1333.

Look in BIOS if you have XMP profile and enable , set the frequency at 1333Mhz , save and quit.

The chipset could be limiting DRAM frequency based on the FSB of the CPU. I haven't serviced any 1155 systems yet so I don't know if that's a possibility.

You might also check to make sure that you have the latest BIOS (1.30).
