Hey guys,
I made an error and ended up with RAM sticks of varying frequencies. I have two 8GB units at 1866MHz and another two at 2400MHz. After searching online and trying different solutions, I’m still stuck and can’t push them beyond 1333 MHz. Any advice would be really helpful. Thanks!

What motherboard and CPU should I choose? That might be their full potential, so mixing RAM kits isn't wise. For example, an 1866mhz and 2400mhz DDR3 setup likely uses different chips. Also, using four sticks on a dual-channel board can significantly affect the speeds you get. I’d match timings to the fastest stick and gradually boost it.
