8GB Corsair Vengence LP showing wrong speed.

Morning Chaps,

I'm sure this has been asked an answered, but, whilst bumbling through me BIOS ysterday it showed both of my RAM modules running at 1333Mhz.

I had to check because I was sure I bought 1600Mhz RAM. I have x2 overclock profiles on the BIOS (3.7 & 4.0) but neither of those were running it was at standard clock settings.

I have no idea how to change the speed to 1600Mhz? I would have though that it would have done it automatically when I built it?

Mobo is an ASUS M5A97 EVO R2.0.

Would someone mind giving me a laymans terms guide to sorting this out? Getting some upgrades installed today and want to make sure eveything is tip-top before BF4 tomorrow.

Ta

Once in the BIOS go to AI Tweaker and drop down to memory frequency, change this the correct speed

Edit: You may also need to check the voltage, scroll down a little further on screen, I have my Kingston ram at 1.58v.
Check page 3-7 off the manual.

Smashing cheers very much for that, I'll have a check through the manual and see.

Thanks again
