[SOLVED] My ram is 1866hmz but its only running on 666.5 mhz (1333 ghz i guess)

[squstaur]

so here is my problem my kingston hyperx 8gb ddr3 1866 ram (HX318C10F/8) only running at 1333 mhz on my motherboard which is asus p8h61-m lx3 r2.0 and
i tried changing 1333 mhz to 1866 and 1600 mhz in bios ai tweaker but after changing it from 1333 mhz to 1866 or 1600 my screen goes black cpu running but keyboard and mouse not showing any lights after restarting it says failed attempt at overclocking
everytime
if anyone can help that will be very much appreciated
this is my spec and i know its old pc and i need to upgrade and thats why i am trying to run it at 1866 so i can sell it for better value
windows 10 pro
processor - i7 2600 non k
motherboard - asus p8h61-m lx3 r2.0
ram - hyperx fury 8 gb ddr3 1866
gpu - zotac gtx 1060 6gb mini
smps/psu - cooler master extreme power plus 600w
motherboard bios - 1107 latest for this motherboard just flashed today

and why my ram showing 889 mhz shouldnt it be 933 mhz or something idk much about this

and i forgot to mention my ram is in 2nd slot because my cpu cooler blocks 1st slots i cant fit ram into that

You may need to adjust the voltage (1.5V) when you change the speed in the BIOS.

i more thing 1 guys offering me 330 dollars for mobo + cpu + smps + gpu no ram, hdd , cabinate or anythings else and i think i can sell ram separately for 20 usd atleast

and 1 more guy selling me zotac gtx 1080 8gb for 243 dollars what you think about both deals

 

[ElectrO_90]

Just looking at mine (basically the same)
800 Mhz and 1:6 FSBRAM
9 CAS @ 1.5V

Get $350 and then buy this (What is your make/model PSU) As I would recommend an old one with a new system unless its high quality

I would sell, your due for a upgrade. The list @ElectrO_90 posted above would be good. The GPU is a good price as long as it hasn't been used to mined with (heat/custom BIOS).

but why adjust voltage its not overclocking is it ? i thought its 1866 mhz ram so i just have to put it in slot and and select 1866 in bios ? and how to do it, is it complex i am asking cuz i never overclocked before note even once

If there's no option for XMP then you need to manually input the correct voltage for the memory to get it to run at the correct speed. From the specs it looks like 1.5V but you may want to double check that. In the BIOS there should be a option to change it, probably near where you changed the speed.

yea i also think its good idea i dont think i would get better offer than that and i have extra psu cooler master v850 my friend was selling minning rig so i helped him and sold it for him so he gave me 120 dollar and cooler master v850 free

idk if its minned or not but it looked really good and has 3 year warranty left so i dont think i would face any problem

no xmp option but do you think if i sell this to someone will he get this same problem i mean someone else with another board ? so its going black screen cuz its not getting 1866 default but i have to overclock it to run 1866 in this motherboard ? and last thing i have cash like 1000 dollars and i can add 100 more if necessary do you think i should buy that gtx 1080 and wait for ryzen 3000 or just buy 8700 or 9700k ?

 

[squstaur]

i dont think navi 5700 would be sub 300 dollars what you think ?

Leave it at 1600 or whatever is stable.

List you current parts after the sale. Include the monitor.

If the GTX 1080 has the warranty and works well then it's good for $250. Navi will be around $250 but I don't know if the performance will be as good.

NZXT H500 ATX cabinat
cooler master v850 modular smps/psu
1 samsung 860 evo 250gb ssd
1 wd blue 250 gb hhd
1 wd blue 500 gb hhd
and i have cheap gaming mouse and keyboard i am thinking about upgrading this too if i save money
and i will use this new build pc for atleast 7 years like i did with my 2600 so plz suggest powerful part even if it go little more and i am going to overclock cpu and gpu so plz suggest good cooling and everything

 

[squstaur]

and this is the model of gpu
zotac geforce gtx 1080 amp 8gb and it looks well handled he never overclocked he said and i tested it and its look really good and temperature also pretty good and 3 year warranty is super good and if anything happens there is zotac center 1 and half miles away from my house

I'd probably wait for Ryzen 3rd gen but if you wanted a system now that should last that long I'd probably get something like this. It should be compatable with your current parts.
