F3-16000CL9D-4GBRH and gigabyte GA-790FXTA-UD5

ive just built a system using F3-16000CL9D-4GBRH and gigabyte GA-790FXTA-UD5, the motherboard is currently running the memory at 1333mhz, i can modify the ram multiplier which brings them up to 1600mhz but i would like to run it faster. has anyone here used the same ram and motherboard could give me some advise on settings to get some good speed out of the ram

The mobo's rated up to 1866 as an OC speed, so you'll need the sticks in slots 3-4, w/ a healthy OC on the system, with boosts in the CPU/MC voltages. I'd start w/ stock timings and DRAM voltage (also Command rate/timing at 2N and tRFC at 127.5) then try to tighten down the timings

thanks for reply. i guess its a case of increase the link speed until i hit 1866.

Might be able to get faster, will want to keep an eye on your mobo at the manufacturers site for BIOS updates, they may kick the speed up higher.
