Troubleshooting Help:
What is your parts list?
This is a computer I built at work yesterday for our new software engineer (no, the irony is not lost to me).
Motherboard: Asus Z97 Sabertooth
RAM: GSkill DDR3-1600 2x8GB RAM
Describe your problem. List any error messages and symptoms. Be descriptive.
The BIOS says the RAM is operating at 1333GHz. I manually set it to 1600 yet the BIOS does not reflect this change even after restart.
List anything you've done in attempt to diagnose or fix the problem.
I looked into which slots the RAM should be installed for dual channel, and the manual says A2/B2 is better for compatibility. This is how they are arranged.
