it doesn't see 1600 Mhz because max memory freqency is 1333 mhz

no, all ram will default to a lower base clockspeed in till the XMP profile is enabled.  In the case of DDR3 it defaults to 1333mhz.

o got you and if it does not have XMP what do i do then is it a bios update?

For every right I had only 1866mhz and above would be at 1600 with no XMP.

 

And 1600 was at 1600 with no XMP

 

Could be his mobo tho

Is it a amd cpu? I think only Intel has XMP

No it's an limitation of the CPU

AMD has AMP (AMD Memory Profile), it's exactly the same thing.

Those stats only concern Intel's "recommended" frequencies, they don't necessarily mean that you'll be limited to those speeds. This depends on the motherboard.

Yes, the CPU supports DDR3-1600 so it's probably a matter of turning the AMD Memory Profile on.

alright cool is i just got to find it

Yes I'm just asking becase if so that's why he can't see XMP. And AMP is not as easy to find as XPM atleast with the bios's I have used

i want to thank all of you for your help you guys/girls help a lot thanks
