Hello there geeks,
I have four sticks of ram (ADATA 1600 MHZ) which I realized via task manager & BIOS that they are running on 1333 MHZ.
Here are the things which I tried to do:
Thank you all!

I have four sticks of ram (ADATA 1600 MHZ) which I realized via task manager & BIOS that they are running on 1333 MHZ.
Here are the things which I tried to do:
- I updated my BIOS with the latest version available
- I went around the BIOS and looked around for XMP profile or anything like that - wasn't able to find it
- I have tried changing the memory multiplier from 13.33 (1333 MHZ) to 16 or 16.66 or 16.00 or just 16 - didn't change to 1600 MHZ.
- I opened my PC and inspected each and every RAM stick - it is in fact 1600 MHZ
- I looked up the motherboard's manuel - it does support 1600 MHZ.
Thank you all!
