Are you on the XMP profile? You can set Dram frequency in your options somewhere. Depends on the MOBO.

Most boards default to 1333 and you need to change it to xmp profile 1 in the bios.

I don't know the bios layout of the board. You need to go to advanced mode then poke around in those menus until you come to DRAM frequency. Set that to 1600. Then I think you'll be prompted with something about saving this XMP profile. Say yes. Then you need to change the profile to XMP #1. I'm not sure what menu thats under. Hopefully this helps!

Refer to Page 43 in the manual for XMP profiles: http://download.gigabyte.us/FileList/Manual/mb_manual_ga-z87x-ud3h_e.pdf

and yes XMP profiles are safe as they are verified to run at that speed.

Don't set your 1600 ram to 3000 and you'll be good. Make sure you don't set you CPU multiplier to 16 like I did by accident. Was really confused when everything wasn't being nice.
