TPU enabled and DRAM frequency

As an experiment, I have flipped the TPU switch to enabled on my P8Z77-V Deluxe board. My system seem to be working normally. Now I notice, in Task Manager, that my DRAM frequency (8GB in two 4GB sticks) has been downgraded to 1333MHz from the previous 1600MHz. Should I crank it back up to 1600MHz in the BIOS, if possible, or leave well alone?

I'm running Windows 8 Pro x64 under UEFI mode on an SSD.

Thanks for any advice.

When you did that, it defaulted the
Clock speeds part of your bios
That happened to me also

That TPU switch is evil! It messes with your frequencies and in general its to be avoided. I found the same thing out about the EPU as well, that thing causes major performance problems. Just disable all that rubbish and go about setting up your PC properly.
