I messed up..Ram not compatible with mobo

So I bought "this" Corsair 16gb 2666Mhz DDR RAM.

After a year of use... I just found out that it isn't compatible with my MSI B350 Gaming Pro motherboard...

So the ram is clocked at 2133MHz.

 

Is there a way to OC or I have to stick to 2133Mhz...? The worst part is I have a Ryzen 1600 CPU which requires high ram speeds for better gaming performance XD.

WELP

Do you mean this?

 

 

No he means in your BIOS, there should(might be) be an XMP Ram Profile that will kick that speed up automagically.

Are you activating the DOCP settings for the RAM in your BIOS?

So I tried both the XMP profiles / MSI's Memory Try it neither worked... It got bugged and only detected 8GB had to re-install the ram to fix it... I think there is no way to make it work.. since the motherboard compatibility page doesn't have my RAM in it.
