The labels indicate 8 GB DDR3 RAM at 1600 MHz with UDIMM compatibility.
Yeah, I missed the basics. Your motherboard only supports 1600Mhz RAM in OC mode; it doesn’t allow using higher speeds unless you set the RAM clock manually to 1600 as shown here. If your system boots normally, run a CMOS reset according to your manual.
Yes, it's safe to proceed at 1600 MHz without causing issues. That frequency corresponds to a gain of 8 dB.
Adjust the frequency and let the motherboard determine the ideal ratio. It’s generally safe, though not guaranteed. In rare cases it might lead to instability—such as crashes, BSODs, or abrupt restarts. If you notice issues, reset the motherboard to its factory settings (check the video for details). Alternatively, erase the CMOS and try booting normally; if that works, avoid using the RAM at 1600Mhz.
