Good afternoon people,

i recently brought my new build pc to the store because it was not booting ( freeze on bios splash screen )

What it seems is that the motherboard died, Now are they assembling a new mobo for me ( MSI 760GM p23FX

and the store owner told me it supports up to 1600mhz of ram, ( my system is using 1866mhz ram but it was the best option they had ) so i said well okay just do it.

so i did some checks about the motherboard and on the official MSI website it says support up to 1333mhz, so 2 questions:

Will it be noticeable ?
is there an XMP profile so i can still run my Ram at FULL speed ?

i don't do stuff like video editing. i just game ALOT.
Games like battlefield 4, arma 3.

For the people that are interested the system was:

Asrock n68 gs4 FX
EVGA gtx 750 TI superclocked
HyperX fury red 8gb ddr3 @1866Mhz
amd FX6300 @3.5ghz ( Boost 4.1Ghz )

and is going to be now:
MSI 760GM P23-FX
EVGA gtx 750 TI superclocked
HyperX fury red 8gb ddr3 @1866Mhz ( probably going to run at 1333 as my common sense & Knowledge is telling me )
amd FX6300 @3.5ghz ( Boost 4.1Ghz )

 
Solution
go to your motherboard's bios, into the memory section, and enable the XMP profile to get the full speed.

the 1333 MHz is just the maximum the motherboard can use without a special ram modifier like XMP.


But does the motherboard have an XMP profile ? cause i don't know anything about XMP etcetera, and what mobo's support it, the only thing i know is what it does, But i could not find anything about this mobo and XMP
 
pretty much all new motherboard support XMP these days, and the actual RAM modules have the XMP profiles. that's why I told you to go into your bios, enter the memory section, and exable XMP on your RAM modules. check youtube if you want any further explanation on how to enable XMP.
 


Okay will have to check that monday, Tomorrow they are closed sadly, thanks in advance :)
 


you can do that yourself, its not that hard, and as long as you stick with the youtube tutorial you won't destory anything.
also, it won't cost you anything.
