Consider updating your Motherboard BIOS if it is supported by newer hardware or manufacturer recommendations.

I'm facing issues with my RAM and CPU not functioning as expected. The CPU is a native 3.5 fx6300, I have 2x4gb G.Skill Ripjaws 2133hz RAM, and an ASRock 970m Pro3 motherboard. When I adjust the RAM speed and latencies to match the rate speeds listed, it drops to 880hz instead of the intended 1600. This happens after resetting to UEFI defaults. I think I'm on version 1.40 or 1.50 and should consider upgrading to 1.60.
xmp functions as a universal ram oc profile, but its effectiveness can vary because of differences in rams. One of the two xmp profiles I tried didn't work at all, though it was still unstable. The manual approach seems to be the best option.
yes, it will help memory support. okay will do. which one should I use? does it matter which sequence? the instructions under "how to" linked from the address all seem for windows 7. i plan to download all three 1.60 updates, "Instant Flash, DOS, Windows," but in what sequence?
In a side note, when I enter my current BIOS XMP 1.2 and 1.3 are both available. These settings provide the correct presets for my RAM configurations, but using them doesn't work properly. I wouldn't be surprised if they're only meant for Intel systems, as I thought? It's strange that an AM4 motherboard BIOS/UEFI would include this option.
