Here is the list of components I am working with:
GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3
AMD Phenom II X4 965
G.SKILL Ripjaws X (Model# F3-14900CL10D-16GBXL)
Originally bought this particular RAM as I wanted to achieve 1866 speeds. Came to find out on GIGABYTE's website that this particular board will not reach 2000/1866 without having an AM3+ processor. Figured I would just take the loss and at least run these chips in 1600. For some reason after setting the memory in 1600, programs in windows detect that I am still running 667mhz RAM speed. The programs I used to test this are CPU-Z and EasyTune6 (the program that comes with GIGABYTE boards). If I attempt to increase the CPU Frequency from 200->233 it crashes. Using either E.O.C.P. or manual I can set it to 1600 with no crash, but it reads 1333 in Windows. I'm not sure if this is because I didn't manually set voltages or what. Not sure what to set the voltages at besides the RAM as I have not had to do this before. Here are some pictures I took as reference. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated!
