Hello guys/(girls maybe), i have an Intel G3220 s1150 CPU, motherboard ASRock H81M-DGS R2.0 and RAM Kingston HyperX Fury 1866MHZ.
Problem: RAM runs in 1333 Mhz mode, but on asrock site, they mentioned that motherboard supports 1866 mhz RAM, and that it supports XMP, but when i enter bios>advanced oc there is no XMP tab, and if i enter dram freq, i can only choose high to 1400 MHZ, i really need that fast MHZ ram on this CPU because i will use it integrated GPU for some time... and from what i read on forums RAM freq does have a big impact on that Intel GT1 GPU, thx in advance

Check with Asrock for verification. I'm only going from memory and past experience. But if there is no XMP profiles available, I'd say that was the reason... the memory controller doesn't allow it. A Core processor is required, I believe.
On page 42 of your MB manual, there is a reference to DRAM Timing Configuration. It states:
"Load XMP Setting
Load XMP settings to overclock the DDR3 memory and perform beyond standard
specifications."

What happens when you do that?

And do you have the latest BIOS?
 
in BIOS load XMP setting row is missing, i dont have it, i updated to latest bios. It may be that my RAM doesnt have XMP? If it doesnt how can i manualy set 1866 mhz ?

OK. Then it must be due to the processor you are using. The memory controller is integral to the CPU, not on the MB anymore. The Pentium's memory controller is limited to 1333MHZ. Being a low-end mem cont. it may allow some OC'ing but not full XMP profiles. If I remember correctly, I ran into that with a Pentium build I finished not long ago. No XMP profiles were available in BIOS.
 

Verry bad( paid 10$ more for this ram
