Corsair Vengeance RAM Not Running at Full Speed

[felixmsw]

I have 16GB of Corsair Vengeance 1866 MHz RAM but have noticed that it only runs at 1333 MHz. (Link)

Not a big deal to me, but since I paid for 1866 RAM I was hoping to be able to get at least that out of it. Any suggestions for how to get it to run at full speed (at least).

AMD FX 6300
M5A97 R2.0
(if that matters)

Thanks,
Felix

Try setting in BIOS Ai Overclock Tuner to DOCP and select the 1866 profile.

If problems can raise DRAM voltage + 0.05 and set CPU/NB to 1.2 or drop them to 1600, not all 6300s can run 1866 at stock 😉

The problem is, when I try the the system won't POST.

Dear Felix.....
Chk how much ddr3 at which speed your motherboard allows .I have the same corsair vengeance 8g which can work up to 1866....but my Intel motherboard accepts speed between 1333 to 1600 so I get 1600 MHz only......Even the bios doesn't allow to over clock it too because the motherboard can't support that speed.I though I might help .....
