I have the EVGA p67-SLI mobo but it only supports RAM at anything above 1600 Mhz. Is there anyway to get it to work with ram that runs at 133 Mhz? i have 16 GB at 1867 Mhz but I also have two 4 GB sticks each at 133 Mhz. when i put in the two stick it just gives me the error code 55 (no RAM installed and/or RAM error)

Why you need that much ram anyways ? 16 is more than enough, i know you probably want to use what ever you got, but i don't think its good idea to mix 1333 with 1866 and there are no really way to make it

Couldn't i down-clock my 1866 to 1600 and overclock my 1333 to 1600?

I'm not into overclocking so im out of here and yes you could downclock to 1600. I wondered and i probably have missed something of what im going to say, but when you put your 1333 ram and you get error how are you gonna overclock it ?

and i think it is possible to 1600, but i dont know if its safe, just wait for smarter guy
