Okay, so i'm going to put it all out there, but be gentle with me... I'm fairly new to all of this.
My system setup is:
Mobo: Maximus VII Hero - Bios 1104
CPU: Intel 4790K
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX780Ti
RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR 2133
See it on AmazonAt this point in time I don't think it would have anything to do with any of my other peripherals so i'm not going to list them unless someone thinks that it may be necessary.
The issue is that it seems my M7H will not correctly enable XMP, and can detect that it should be running 2133, but every indicator after that is that my ram is running at 1066MHz or less.
Here are some system info screens along with my BIOS configuration at boot:
Also, my sticks ARE on the list of compatible RAM.
I've tried adjusting the timings, although I've only tried adjusting RAS / CAS / Etc and booting, setting back to default and booting, enabling XMP and booting.... but I haven't gone deep into trying to tweak. Anyone reading this post can probably tell that I don't understand enough about RAM yet to mess with this. No matter what I put, XMP, Auto, Manual, I keep getting the same or very similar results.
My question is, what am I missing? Is this a hardware issue or am I just totally messing up something super simple? Appreciate any and all help...
