MB: Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3-B3 (updated at bios F9)
CPU: i5 2500K
RAM: G.Skill F3-2133C10D-16GAB ARES (8GBx2)
I just bought some new RAM and after installing it I noticed it ran at 1333 MHz. So I read up online and turned on XMB from the BIOS to set it at 2133, but the system didn't boot and kept loading the previous settings saying it has "experienced boot failures because of overclocking or changes of voltages". What's the issue exactly?
Now, after a lot of fiddling I managed to boot it at 2133, but since I'm not completely sure if everything's alright (it probably isn't) I'll just show how it is when running at 1600 first and then what I did to make it run at 2133.
So, first of all, the sticker:

As I said earlier, after a lot of trial and error I managed to boot it at 2133 (it said 2134 in the task manager, iirc). I changed the voltage to 1.600V, put it on XMP Profile 2, SPD at 2133, DRAM Timing Selectable (it's "auto"/"quick"/"extreme") on "quick" and changed the channel A timing settings (do I only have to change channel A btw? CPU-z shows that I installed the ram on slot #2 and #4, is that what it is?) to this:

Now, I tried to put the same values that Aida showed on this profile but not all acronyms were present so some of them might be completely off (I did a bit of searching on what to put there but didn't find anything concrete) so I need some help here, if this is the way to do it to begin with, that is.
Sorry for all the links but I couldn't include all those pics in a single post.
