Memory Upgrade on ASRock H61M-GS

[Count_Zero99uk]

Im looking to upgrade the 2 sticks of 4gb DDR 3 Team Elite 1600 into something with more bite onto my motherboard, was looking at 16gb (2x8) so i had a look on the website to see what memory the mobo could support and its a little confusing, heres the link

http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H61M-GS/?cat=Memory

Now at the top it says

"Due to the configuration of chipset, the H61 default speed is 1333 MHz even with K series CPU."

So will i need to somehow change something on the mobo, or is it just a Bios change, ive looked on the ASRock site and i cant find out any info.

If someone could provide some clarity that would be great.

Many thanks
Brian

h61 doesn't support above 1333mhz ram speed if I remember right?

its a limitation of the h61 mb chipset,youd need a z77 board to run 1600mhz and higher ram

Ah well, ill just get 16 of the 1333, looks like ill be waiting for a new mobo, hate changing mobos.
