Help a noob set his DDR3 ram to 1333 from 1066

[gold333]

Hi, can somebody tell me how to set the effective ram to 1333 (up from 1066) to match my CPU and motherboard?

I loaded the BIOS to defaults but I think it set the DDR3 1600 ram to 533?

Can anyone tell?

Set your memory clock to 800mhz in bios(1600mhz effective) if its 1600mhz memory.

Will that give better performance than setting it to 1333 (seeing as CPU and MB run at 1333)?

PS: it is also DDR3.

Yes, faster memory=faster performance. And you should think about ocin that cpu and lettin the horses in it run free Well, if you have an aftermarket cooler...
