I'm using an older AMD build with an A6-3650 chip and upgraded RAM much earlier than today. I switched to an A6-3670K that was boosted to 3.4GHz. I also installed 8GB (two 4GB modules) at 1600MHz, thinking it was 800MHz based on Task Manager and CPU-Z. Now I find myself with four 4GB 1600MHz sticks but only two slots available. My goal is to boost the memory a bit more so the iGPU can utilize it better. The board lacks BIOS overclocking options, though I can adjust RAM settings in Overdrive.
