I am running a msi p67a-gd65 in my rig and i just got new ram. It is corsair vengence 1600mhz ram. In the details it says it only supports 1066 and 1333, but through oc;ing it supports 1600mhz and 2133mhz. does this mean that the motherboard is running the ram at a lower clock rate?

Your MOBO and CPU easily run DDR3-1600.

The easiest setting is Extreme Memory Profile(X.M.P) -> Enable.

How do I access that? is that easier than changing them through bios

Reply to ryfry

That is a BIOS setting, boot into the BIOS typically hitting the Delete key.
