RAM Question?

[DirtyBerty]

just took delivery of my pc. i have 16gb of the kingston hyper x at 2133 mhz, but when i went in to check the bios, it says its at 1600?

It gives me the option in the bios to select 2133 mhz speed but cant understand why its not set at 2133?

any help would be great.

Not an expert in anyway here, but as standard your computer will not be able to use 2133 mhz in the RAM. It may boost up to 2133 when needed. Just my thoughts.

I think you will have to set it to 2133mhz, but to be honest, you don't need ram that fast unless you are overclocking.

So you could just change it now mate, but like ThomasM said, your pc wont need to the high speed.

RAM speed is usually set to 1333MHz as default in bios,as mentioned you should have the option to manually set the RAM speed in the BIOS, but you can also just enable the XMP profile.XMP profile comes with the recommended speed for your RAM and the recommended timings.
