Hello, good day everyone.
I need help please, my HP prodesk 490 g2 mt motherboard won't use my ram at its maximum bandwidth. The pc i bought came with basic 8(4x2) gb 1600 mhz ddr3 memory and they were installed properly, after that i bought corsair dominator platinum 16(8x2) gb 1866 mhz ddr3 for a good price, so i read the specifications of the motherboard and it said 1600 mhz memory is its maximum bandwidth.
I've looked through a lot of topics in the internet saying that if you installed faster memory on slower motherboard, it will just read it at its maximum bandwidth (1600 MHz).
When i installed them the bios reads the ram as 1333 mhz each only, i have updated the bios, searched and poked everywhere to make it at maximum bandwidth (1600 mhz) but without any success.

How do i make the ram 1600 mhz? I'm pretty sure there is a confliction between the memory and the motherboard i have. I bought this computer for gaming and overall i don't feel satisfied for some reason, most of the games which i run at ultra. v-sync off only reach fps between 50-70 maximum! I expected much more from a rig like this! Everything is installed properly and up to date, i want to know what is wrong with my pc. Please help and thank you.
