Default memory freq. set by mboard

I've changed my memory frequency from 1333MHz to 1.6GHz via my BIOS. Should I have left it the way it was or have influenced my performance beneficially?

Guessing you mean 1600 and yes, that's better than 1333 😉

Even if I change to 1.6GHz, inside the BIOS it displays the memory's freq as 1.3GHz.

Are you sure this is the DRAM freq, should show as 1333 or 1600

Sometimes, BIOS shows the memory freq as 159*.** and then sometimes it's 13**.**. I also receive a BIOS message and some options to either select default optimized settings and boot, another similar or enter bios. The message itself states there was an issue booting or something along those lines, however, before that message I booted normally. I'm currently having another serious issue, which has resulted in my manipulation inside BIOS.
