Download CPU-Z if you don't have it already. Post screenshots of mainboard, memory, and SPD tabs. Note on SPD tab you might have to select a different slot to get something to show up.

right off the bat, your ram is running in single channel... get another stick man. Also, your ram may be unstable at 2666. 2133 to 2666 is quite a strech. Doable but not all rams will handle it well. I think you can safely overclock this to 2400. All in all, when overclocking rams, try not to touch the voltage. Beyond 1.65v, you are treading the danger zone. At 2400mhz, your Cas latency should be at 14-16-16-31-1T. with voltage of 1.2v. If this doesnt work, try a relaxer timing. maybe CL 17. Just look up some reputable companies' ram timing and adjust it accordingly. It should serve as a good guideline. best of luck!

I do have 2 rams. Both 8GB but it might need to be changed in the BIOS
