BIOS maximum dram frequency setting is 1600mhz
Barty1884:
To be honest, I'm not sure. The faster speeds might only work on unlocked "K" CPUs because technically, exceeding 1333/1600MHz is an overclock. Usually, this restriction applies only to speeds above 1866MHz. I initially thought that, but it's not about the CPU itself—it's more about the motherboard; it should still display frequencies, and if the CPU can't handle it, crashes will occur. Unless the motherboard allows you to raise the frequency.

I mean that's what I thought at first place but that's not about cpu there is no limitation for mobo it must still show frequencies and if cpu doesn't support it, it will start crashes but unless that mobo must allow you to increase the frequency
Not always the case; the board can detect what CPU is installed - and in some instances (especially Sandy/Ivy bridge era), options only present that are available with the CPU installed.
Ensure load bios defaults are applied post-reflash and remove CMOS afterward.
In dram frequency choices, the maximum frequency available is 1600
Hello, today I purchased a brand new 2x4GB Ripjaws DDR3 1866MHz but upon checking the BIOS settings, the maximum DRAM frequency listed was 1600 while my motherboard claims support for up to 2400MHz... here is the link:

My motherboard model is ZH77A-G43 and the CPU is an i7-3770. If increasing the frequency isn't possible, I should consider lowering or tightening the timings to compensate.
As previously discussed, it's likely you require a K cpu to effectively utilize increased RAM rates. When compared to the 8th generation Intel CPUs, DDR4 standard speed is 2133MHz; the I5-8400 can operate at 2666MHz, but a K cpu is necessary to achieve even higher speeds, no matter the motherboard you're using.
