Soooo, im wondering... I have picked up some 16GB of DDR3 2400mhz but my motherboard only suppotrs 2133mhz max. So why is it that its underclocking the ram to only 1333mhz instead of 2133mhz and is there a way to manually clock it to 2133mhz? i have tried setting it to 2133mhz in the bios and i also tried setting the voltage to 1.65 as this is what this ram is supposed to run at... Any Help Much Appreciated.

and yes i know my mobo is assss (asus M5A97)
