Hi,
I recently just built my first computer and have encountered a problem of sorts. My Ram OCZ3G1600LV6GK is rated as 1600, but when in my motherboard it won't go higher than 1066. My mobo is GA-EX58-UD3R rv.1.6 bios. FB.
Looking through the mobo documentation it shows memory compatibility as 800/1066/1333/2100. I assumed (stupidly) that the ram would be able to downclock to 1333 but that isn't the case, it jumps down to 1066. Even messing with the bclk the bios will show a higher SPD but show the ram at 1066.
I've read in several places people stating they have this same ram (or just other 1600 ram) running at 1600 on the same mobo. Does anyone know if this mobo is truly capable of 1600 and what I need to do to achieve it?
