I built my PC about 2 years ago and used the G Skill RipjawsX, 2 sticks of 4gb each. I manually adjusted the timings in BIOS and everything has been fine. Today I added another 2 sticks of 4gb so I am running 4 sticks of 4gb each now. My PC didn't boot at first, it booted on the third attempt (it restarted itself) and the BIOS was automatically back to 1600mhz, but the same timings. (11-11-11-30).
I tried changing it back to 2133mhz but every time I have done that my computer won't boot properly. It self restarts a few times and BIOS automatically changes the setting back to 1600mhz.
Does anyone know what the problem might be? Is it worth worrying about? Would there be a big difference between 2133 and 1600?
