You need to set it to use XMP.

just got this from the site:
Support for DDR3 3200(O.C.) / 3100(O.C.) / 3000(O.C.) / 2933(O.C.) / 2800(O.C.) / 2666(O.C.) / 2600(O.C.) / 2500(O.C.) / 2400(O.C.) / 2200(O.C.) / 2133(O.C.) / 2000(O.C.) / 1866(O.C.) / 1800(O.C.) / 1600 / 1333 MHz memory modules

so, you will need to do some overclocking to set them.

To reach 2400mhz you might need to overclock the cpu a bit or at least add some voltage to the memory controller,but first just try XMP out.
