Hello, I have 2 Corsair XMS 3 4GB module that says it should work at a stock speed of 1600Mhz. but upon installation i find that the speed is upper-limited to only 1333 mhz. I did a BIOS inspection and thought that changing the speed might fix my problem. So I changed the speed which said "13.33" to "16.00". But upon doing my motherboard crashes. It doesn't boot up. Rather goes back into the default settings after 10 seconds of black screen.
My question is, do i need to change the Latency and the Voltage of the DRAM also to achieve the desired speed? If so, then what should be my values? If no, then how can I reach the 1600 Mhz speed.
PS: I did manage to start up my computer at 1400 mhz but the games crash after 5 mins of play. So had to revert back to 1333 mhz.
I have a Gigabyte Z77P-D3 board (have never updated my BIOS), a i7 3770k Processor running at stock speed, ram already mentioned, a GTX 560 ti Hawk, and Coolermaster 700 watt PSU.
