I have been all over your site forums for 3 hours now. I am in desperate need!!
Motherboard: Gigabyte 990fxa-UD3
CPU: Zambezi AMD 4100 @ 3.6Ghz
RAM: F3-14900CL9Q-16gbxl Ripjaws 1866 (4x4)
No matter what I have tried based on several forum posts tonight, I cannot get my system to see my ram at 1866 properly. It has to be something too simple I am completely missing. I used the AMD CPU + 1600 guide and it would not set taking the DRAM to 9.33 OR setting it on auto for 1866. It would crash and go back to 1333. I had 1600 of same ram in my system for the last 3 months and once I set it to go to 1600, the system fired right up and ran just fine.
I have upgraded my BIOS on the motherboard tonight as well to make sure it has most current information. I feel like an idiot here.
If someone can give me a straight shot of instructions to get my MB settings correct, I would be indebted and happily. It is set at PC3-12800 at the moment per CPU-Z's last check. I have tried manual settings of DRAM 9.33 timing 9-10-9-28 as the specs for the ram state and tried auto voltage then voltage at 1.6 ( 0.10 + added for 1.5v) to see if it would help and still kept getting a message that the bios was being updated and it would never boot to windows....
Save me here guys.... PLEASE! It seems terrible to spend the xtra $$ to get to 1866 and it not work when 1600 worked flawlessly 4 hours ago!

), with a 960 I'd say 4x4 1600 is pretty good. I got an 8150 up to 2000 with 4x4GB, but it was rather hot, even at 1866 it was warmer than I'd like.....One thing on the Egg reviews, many of those folks put the sticks in (especially the higher freq sets) and things work fine, but for many, the DRAM is on auto, so it loaded at 1333 or 1600 and they don't know any better, then there are many that say they are running at whatever, knowing they aren't. Don't know what mobo you have, but need to keep in mind some of the advertising is based on the capabilities of the chipset, and as far as testing goes for the QVL is done with the most powerful CPU available, as doesn't necessarily mean all slots populated, in fact many AMD mobos rated to 2000 or to 2133 were often tested with say an 8150 and 2x1 or 2x2GB sets of DRAM.....something to try sometime - if they adverise say a 4x4GB set of 2000 or 2133, send them an email and ask what CPU and what BIOS settings they used (timings, voltages, etc), 9 times out of 10 they won't provide any info - and think about it, they should have all of it documented if they did it.
