1333MHz and 1600MHz

[gcmartini]

Hello,
I have Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz 2x4GB (the black kind in short), and when I was tweaking around in the BIOS, I noticed that it was running at 1333MHz. Can I bump it up to 1600? What settings must I change? I am running an ASUS P8Z68-V LX motherboard. I want to take full advantage of my memory.
Thanks.
And I'm very tired so expect a reply in 20 hours or so, haha, sorry bout that guys.

You must enable the xmp profile.

if you are using a 2nd generation i3/i5/I7 2K you will have to over clock to use the rams at 1600mhz,otherwise you are stuck with 1333 as max clock since its teh max memory clock they can support

Goto the UEFI BIOS -> Switch to Advance Mode -> AI Tweater ->AI Overclock Turner -> choose ..X.M.P

this is the fastest way to set ... there still have other method manuelly set..

I might do this but I have a question, is their really a noticeable difference in performance if I clock it at 1600MHz? I read some articles saying that it's not worth the hassle or time. Thoughts?

If you use the onboard Video card .... It make some different.... If you use seperate Video card and not OC .. not much different....

Just one change you got 1600...
