Hello,
I recently bough some components and built up a new PC, and I have a problem.
I'm using this memory - CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 Desktop Memory Model CMZ16GX3M4A2133C11B, which is not officially supported for the given Motherboard (Z77 Extreme4). As you see it's frequency is 2133mhz(1066mhz) and 11-11-11-30 timings C11, but actually it runs at 1333mhz(667mhz) with 5-5-5-17 and 6-7-7-20 timings. I have tried different configurations through BIOS with set XMP profile 1.3 with 2133mhz speed, or AUTO ones, in both cases I cannot manually change any record in DRAM Configuration area. Even the memory is displayed with the right values and timings in UEFI, it's still runing at lower frequency. I'm also using i7-3770k which at least supports 1600mhz DDR3.
Is there a way somehow to overclock the memory to run at it's original speed? Is there a way to set some sort of FSB:DRAM ratio, my old motherboard had such option in BIOS, but this has not? CPU-Z reports such FSB:DRAM ratio as 1:8. Is this problem is due only to the reason that the memory is unsupported? Should I overclock the CPU or increase FSB in order to increase memory speed? Please help me out! Thanks in advance!
