Help! how do i adjust my DRAM frecuency to 1866Mhz?

[cristobal123]

First, here are my specs:

Memory: Patriot Viper LP Blue 8gb(2x4GB) 1866Mhz    here is the link
MB: Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 (AM3+)
CPU: FX-8320 3.5Ghz w/default cooler
GPU: Sapphire 270x 4gb non vapor x
Storage: WD 1TB
PSU: TT Smart 550w 80+ bronze.
Case: Cooler Master 431 Plus black.

Now, i have the UEFI bios so it should be easier to configurate,the thing is that it isrunning at 1604Mhz (9-9-9-24)
but it should be running at 1866Mhz at 9-10-9-27. if in the Bios i put d.o.c.p or something like that it does not boot well, i think that is the same when i put XMP because it dosnt support games (games are most likely to crash) and in some times it freeze in red screen for like 40 seconds and then go to a sad face and says that windows is havin an issue or something and then it automaticaly reboot the pc. Any help? Sorry bfor my bad gramar and speling, it is because i dont speak English.

You should just have to change the X.M.P profile to the 1866 setting, but your chipset might not like having RAM run that fast for some reason. I see that you have the X.M.P set to 1600, so it SHOULD be just another step up from there, but if you have games crashing when it is up that high, then it might be your motherboard not liking having RAM that fast. I would try updating your BIOS to the latest version to see if that helps matters.

 

Agreed. If that doesn't work, then it may be that your motherboard just hates that frequency of RAM and won't support that high of an overclock. With a cursory Google search it seems that it would easily allow it, but ya never know!
