Help getting ram up to advertised speed

[DebatED Nothing]

So I've had this PC for ages now but I only recently decided to try to figure out how to use XMP or whatever to get my ram up to speed. It runs at 1333 at the moment but is supposed to run at 1600... If I try to overclock it myself it will always fail to boot, but I can't find XMP or any mention of XMP anywhere. Any help?

Are both sticks 1600? I've never seen 1600 ram run slower. But I have seen 1866+ speed ram run at 1600

AMD does not support XMP. They have something similar to AMP, but you'll need AMP certified ram. What you have to do is manually type in the ram timing, voltage, and clock speed manually in the bios. Have 2 different sticks of ram? Then it will not work because both are running at different specs even if both are clocked at 1600MHz.

i am assuming its two different speeds on the ram. In which case it will default to the lowest speed

Where can I find out the timings I need? They're two identical sticks of corsair vengeance 1600
