Question How to use 1600MHz RAM on MSI 890GXM-G65 Motherboard ?

hey friends I have a question.

MSI 890GXM-G65 specifications say DDR3 Memory - DDR3 800/1066/1333/1600*/1800*/2133*(OC)

and RAM i bought has 1600MHz frequency. Now what does * means in specs and will I be able to use the RAM chips right away or I'll have to tweak something ?

u have to go into bios and tweak ram settings.....most high performance rams speeds are achieved by tweaking....for help on tweaking u can refer to google...

Depends on the RAM. If it is out-of-the-box 1600Mhz, or EPP 1600Mhz.

yep.....but it also depends on the chipset and BIOS too....in a way, it will run at 1600MHz out of the box when you are lucky, else you need to OC it manually ...no biggie..

It's simple, u have to RUN THE RAM at XMP settings, the option is available int he BIOS. Then the RAM will run at 1600MHz..
