If you have an AMD CPU motherboard combo, and DDR3-1600 memory, the system should be configured as follows.
There are several ways to reach DDR3-1600, but this is the ideal method:
1. Set DRAM Frequency to DDR3-1333.
2. Set CPU Host/Bus Frequency to 240 (this will overclock the memory frequency to DDR3-1600)
2a. Raising the bus frequency will also overclock the CPU, so if you do not want this, you will need to lower CPU Ratio to your desired frequency. If you do want to keep it, you may need to raise CPU VCore to stabilize the overclock. If you have a Black Edition CPU, then it should be capable of the overclock without any voltage adjustments, but for non-BE's most likely you will need to raise CPU VCore.
3. Set timings to tCL 9 - tRCD 9 - tRP 9 - tRAS 24, or whatever your memory is rated for.
4. Set DRAM Voltage to 1.50V, or whatever your memory is rated for.

& Yes, I can run it to 4 (I'm sure of it) I have the Zalman CNPS10 Extreme CPU Cooler
Thanks for reading!
