OK I need some low profile ( because of my CPU Cooler) ram....@ this time i have 16 Gigs of Corsair blue ram @1866...although i have it set @1600....also im looking at bang for buck here ..thanx

the reason I'm thinking of getting new ram is cos in my BIOS my ram is showing up @1756 or thereabouts ...unless its a Mobo issue ?

thanx

in the BIOS ...it happened after i had chosen Optimal in the BIOS cos i wanted to see what if any difference it would make ...but ...i think it may just be for regulating the Voltages as apposed to "ramping " anything up ...i did change it back to " Normal " ...but its not gone back to what i would normally expect to see where you can choose what the ram settings can be , in respect of speeds ie ...1066, 1333,1600 , 1866 n so on , ..instead i see different speeds that i have not seen before from 800, 1400..and speeds like that ...and up, there are two pics i got ...sorry if they are not too sharp
