DDR3 ECC RAM not running at full speed?

[Hallah]

I bought 8 sicks of ddr3 ecc ram 16gb per stick with 1600 mhz speed but it runs at 1333 mhz speed. How do I fix this problem?

Tried xmp? Are all dims the same speed?

Can your motherboard even support that speed?

How do I know if it has xmp? How do I enable them.

no, most prebuilds don't have xmp. but most bioses from msi, asrock, gigabyte, evga and asus do have them these days. or you can do it manually

And bear in mind you might be asking for trouble trying to OC ram on one of those boards.

You won't notice a difference between the speeds BTW.

What system are you talking about?
What Motherboard?
What CPU?
