Just got some new ram and I have a few questions about RAM speeds. First, does underclocking ram due to mobo limitations effect performance vs ram that wasn't underclocked running at the same speed. And 2nd, where would I find what voltages and other settings I need to know to manually clock my ram? For some context I bought 16gb 2400mhz Corsair vengance ram because it was the same price as the 1600mhz model. I'm using the Gigabyte z68x-ud3h-b3 mobo and it supports memory speeds up to 2133mhz. Thanks for any help in advance! 

 

Also, I tried using the xim profile and I got a boot error.

o, i think you are going to have to change the timings manually. Look up the cas times
