Summary: How do you get DDR3 1600 to run at 1600?
Motherboard: MSI H77MA-G43.
Processor: Core i3 2120
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600
I've been tinkering with the BIOS, but it seems like there's only one available setting that I can change: Intel XMP profile.
Doesn't matter if it's enabled or disabled, the memory runs at 1333 Mhz.
If XMP is enabled, I see DDR3 1600MHz 9-9-9-24 1.50V (as a profile option, I think?) but it's greyed out and cannot be selected with the keyboard or the mouse. If XMP is disabled, then the 1600 option disappears altogether.
So I click the DRAM frequency, but the options available are:
Auto
DDR3- 800 Mhz
DDR3-1066 Mhz
DDR3-1333 Mhz
Clicking Auto, I get 1333Mhz.
I have updated the BIOS to the latest version (1.8), and I'm running out of ideas. Help please?!
