In bios, enable XMP. It will automatically bring it up to its rated speed - 1866MHz.

Hello, I'm Jewel with Kingston Technical Support and would like to offer our assistance. Our HyperX Fury memory is Plug and Play, so it should run at the highest speed supported by your motherboard and CPU combo. Since your motherboard supports 1866MHz memory, it may be that your CPU does not. Or it could have to do with the way the memory is installed in the motherboard, make sure the memory is installed as recommended by your motherboard manual. For further assistance, please contact us at 1-800-435-0640 (USA and Canada only) M - F 6am - 6pm PT and I or another available Technician will assist you.

Thank you for choosing HyperX.

Your mobo spec say "2 x DIMM, Max. 16GB, DDR3 1866/1600/1333/1066 MHz "

Read your mobo manual. Find how to enable XMP. It'll be in say OC tweaking or such.

The Fury's don't run under XMP, the are PnP sticks, they should work and set themselves up automatically. Can try updating BIOS and reinstall - also what CPU, may not be able to handle 1866

Try 1 stick go into BIOS if you can and manually set the CPU/NB voltage to 1.2, save, exit, shutdown and then add the second stick and try

So did Mr Kingston above get it wrong with the "plug n play"?

They are suppose to automatically themselves to to their spec freq or the highest freq they can run with the given mobo and CPU - here it could be a weaker 6300 (the individual CPUs MC (memory controller) or it may be a BIOS thing (not fully set up for PnP sticks)
