Hello, i just did an upgrade to my pc and bought this Motherboard Asus m5a97 it says that it supports 1866mhz Mem i bought a 4GB 1866mhz 1xDim and it only shows in bios 1333mhz speed, if i try to force 1866mhz in bios the pc won´t boot.

Looking at the manual that comes with the board i see that i should have 2x of the same DIM(KHX1866C9D34G) but in the asus website on memory device suport it doest show this memory model.

online manual: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socketAM3/M4A88TD-M/AMD-DDR3-4DIMM-Memory-QVL.pdf

Where should i rely? from the manual that came with the board or in the online document?
