1600MHz running at 1333MHz

Hello LTT

I recently noticed that the 8GB (2x4) 1600MHz from Corsair only runs at 1333MHz.
When I went in to the BIOS and want to change it, it didn't let me.
I have the GA-H87M-D3H mobo and an i5 4440 at 3.1GHz (not overclocked). I made sure that the motherboard and CPU actually support these frequencies and they did.

I know it's not that big of a deal between 1333 - 1600 MHz, but I did pay more for it so I'd like it to work.

Anyone knows how to change it?

CPU: Intel i5 4440 @3.1 GHz, Mobo: Gigabyte GA-H87M-D3H µATX, RAM: 2x4GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz,
GPU: XFX Radeon R9 280X,Storage: 120GB Samsung 840 EVO and 1TB Seagate HDD,

PSU: Corsair CX750M, Case: Fractal Design Arc Mini R2

You should be able to manually change memory frequencies and timings in the BIOS, but it's easier to just enable XMP.

Enable XMP. 

Ok, so I enabled XMP. It was set to profile1 which promised me 1600MHz, but still, it only runs at 1333MHz.

I have no clue what to do.

Here it a picture of the current BIOS settings concerning the RAM frequency: http://imgur.com/9gBJpAc

You still need to Save and Exit the BIOS for the changes to take effect.

....

Also what is the exact Memory kit are you using?

Are the timings for the RAM correct when XMP Profile 1 is enabled?
