Hi there,

You might want to read this thread: http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php/topic,2515.0.html before you decide to run your RAM at 1600MHz
Remember, when all else fails a cup of tea and a good swear will often help! It won't solve the problem but it will make you feel better.

You can change the memory divider, and manually set RAM voltage and timing per spec, but the experts have warned that the memory controller is not designed for more than 1333MHz.  Translation...it can be tricky to run at 1600MHz (higher NB voltage), and you may fry the CPU over the long run.

I've opted for a 10% bump over 1333MHz, then lower the timing.  My memory is running at 1460MHz with 1.65V and 7-7-6-20-27-1T.
