Need help with wrong RAM frequency !

[Artama Meyer]

So is have 2x corsair 4gb 2133 ram and my system is detecting it as 1333. (DDR3)

I have tried setting it right in the bios but then my system wont start, it will try to boot for 3/4 times and then resets itself and displays an error.

 

RAM: corsair vengance 2x4 gb 2133 mhz

Mobo: Z77 extreme 4

CPU: i5-3550 oc to 4ghz

GPU: evga GTX 970 ssc

PSU: Antec HCG 620

Storage: Samsung evo ssd 120GB - 2x 1TB hdd

Are you also using the same timings and voltage and not just the clock speed?

[dadasmithywinkle]

Try going into the Advanced part of the BIOS and set the ram to 1866 and see if it'll boot. I had a 2666 set that wouldn't work above 2400

Did you manually set it or enable xmp?

Of the CPU??, for that i used the non K overclock from asrock

Ill give it a try

I would check and make sure you're using an XMP profile which should setup everything for you.

it is on auto and detects at 1333. i did not enable xmp.. should i do that?

Yes.

ill see what i can find, are the profiles built in? and so wich one should i use?

Of the ram--not the cpu.

it is on auto and detects at 1333. i did not enable xmp.. should i do that?

Yes, enabling xmp automatically loads the advertised settings.

ill see what i can find, are the profiles built in? and so wich one should i use?

They will show up in the uefi bios if the ram supports it. The settings are clearly labeled.

Yes - XMP is what you should use, as it has the recommended timings and speed.

[kameshss]

Enable XMP in BIOS. You'll be just fine.

[Artama Meyer]

There was only 1 profile, so i selected that one and leaved the frequenty on auto and it still wont boot propperly

[Artama Meyer]

Alright so i enabled xmp and chose a frequenty of 1866 and now it boots fine !
