Kingston HyperX Savage DDR3 wont run at 2133 mhz, only 1600

[EduardoSVK]

Hi everyone.

So I bought a new Kingston 16GB KIT (2x8gb) DDR3 2133MHz CL11 HyperX Savage Series RAMs, but I can't get them to run at 2133MHz. They only run at 1600 mhz, which is theirs deffault setting. I tried XML profiles (only the one that lowers the CL to 9 for 1600MHz works), tried to set my CPU tu default settings, tried to turn off turbo mode, I also tried to set everything manually:
1.60 (or higher) Memory Voltage
1.200 VccSA
11 tCL
12 tRCD
12 tRP
30 tRASmin
171 tRFC
7 tRRD
16 tWR
8 tWTR
8 tRTP
48 tRC
32 tFAW
2T CR

But nothing works. I also tried to run them at 1866, but it also couldn't boot. It just restarts 3x and then throws me back to BIOS.

My specs:
CPU: i5 2500k@4,4GHz
MB: ASRock P67 Pro 3
BIOS: version 2.0 (anything higher is meant for Ivy Bridge and causes various problems for SB processors, like BSODs, impossible to boot, crashes, etc, so I will not update it)
GPU: GTX 970

What am I doing wrong?

Could be a limitation of the memory controller in your CPU. Not every CPU can run higher speeds, as to get to 2133, the IMC is being OC'd. The 2500k only "officially" supports speeds of 1333.

change timings

1.65 (or higher) Memory Voltage (is it stock 1.65v?)
1.200 VccSA
11 tCL
12 tRCD
12 tRP
30 tRASmin to 35 (it's always the first 3 clocks added up)
171 tRFC try to 41
7 tRRD to 8

Idk if that will let it clock up higher but should at least let you boot and run without issues.

Yeah, it was 1,60 or higher. Edited.
I also tried your suggested settings but still wouldn't boot (tried both 1866 & 2133). tRRD's highest possible setting is 7, so I couldn't get that to 8

Yes, officially it supports only up to 1333 mhz, but it also works with higher speeds as you can see here http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2016-is-it-finally-time-to-upgrade-your-core-i5-2500k
That article was the reason why I bought faster rams. I only had 1333MHz 2x4GB kit, and I see a big difference even with just 1666MHz in those games. Witcher 3, GTA V, BF4, Just Cause 3, all run better now.
