How to change RAM speed?

[Aid4nTheNoob]

Hello,

I have this RAM: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-203-CS - Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit

And I have this processor - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-366-IN Intel i3 2120 3.30ghz Sandybridge


And this Motherboard - Gigabyte Z68AP-D3 Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard REV 1 https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-364-GI

(If that's un-needed information, sorry)

Anyway, my RAM is running at 1333mhz or something like that, and I want it to run at 1600mhz which is what my RAM is capable of.

I know I have to change it in the bios, but I'm not exactly what to change, ect, to make everything work without blowing up my RAM.

Help would be much appreciated Thanks!

should see spd system memory multiplier in the bios,might have changed for z68,you will see 1333,1600,2133,2400

just click 1600mhz and save/exit,no need to alter anything else

Also make sure memory voltage is at 1.5 volts, & not 1.65 volts.

Load the XMP profile in the BIOS.
