My motherboard is the Gigabyte UD3 990FX REV 4.0

I recently bought Crucial Ballistix Elite 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 kit, when I put the ram into the dim slots, I get 16gb registered but the speed is only 667mhz,

Even after setting the xmp profile to 1, in the bios it says 1866mhz but when I got to task manager,the speeds are listed as 667mhz

When i check speccy , it says 930mhz but in task manager it says 667mhz

Xmp profile 1 is set, I saved the settings, still no change

I do not know what to do!

I do not want to return my one day old purchase

Any ideas of what to do?
