Guys,

I've only ever built 1 MSI computer before, so please don't scream it this is OBVIOUS.

I just built my SECOND MSI build using an ZH77A-G43.

Now this mobo uses H77 and it cannot overclock, so I put an i5-2400 in it. According to intel website, it can only use 1333 memory, but according to intel, the i5-2500k is also limited to 1333. I don't recall that being correct.

Is there a way to get this board to recoginze the 1600mhz ram in it? Are sandy bridge cpus limited to 1333mhz ram? XMP profile is enabled for 1600mhz but my options are still only 800mhz, 1066 and 1333.

EDIT: Ram is G.Skill Ripjaws 1600mhz

Thanks
