Hello,
I should first announce that I am relatively new to building computers, so I apologize if I fail to give adequate information to help you guys assist me.
Anyways, my problem is that I purchased DDR3-1866 Ripjaws from g.skill, which have so far been working just fine. However, I noticed in my BIOS that the computer is picking them up default at 1600. My questions: Is changing it as simple as making it 1866 in the BIOS, or do I also have to make other changes as well? Furthermore, with my setup, should I even bother making them 1866, or would leaving them at 1600 be better for me? I ask because they are designed for Intel, not AMD, and they seem to be functioning fine right now, so I don't want to potentially create problems.
I am running:
Processor: AMD Phenom II 1100T 6-core black edition
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-870A-UD3
RAM: 2 x F3-14900CL9D-8GBXL (2 ram sticks, 4gb each)
Thank you for reading.
