Ram OC on z97x-gaming 5

[zmorewicz]

Hi. My first post here im having problems trying to set my ram to 2133mhz. here is my system:

• 
  Intel Core i5 4690K
  G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 2x4GB 2133MHz CL9 (http://www.gskill.com/en/product/f3-17000cl9d-8gbxm)
  Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 5
  Sapphire r9 390

And now, ive enabled the xmp profile 1 in the bios but that only changed timings.
Frequency is still at 1600mhz. Why is that? am i missing something ? is something from my build not compatible with that frequency?
please help

See if there are more than one XMP.

See if there are more than one XMP.

yes, there is also profile 2 but it also just changes timings a bit ( from the advanced part of timings).

also the frequency is "grayed out".

I can't see the picture. But set the XMP 1, and mess with the ratio settings to see if you get your desired frequency.

by "ratio" you mean "multiplier" ?

Yes, the multiplier. Before you boot, though, make sure your frequency and timings match up with what they say on G.Skill's site.

that worked! 21.33 multiplier as expected

thanks a lot for the help
