Check the BIOS settings for your system. The maximum DDR3 bus speed supported depends on your motherboard model and chipset. If you're using a 2133MHz DDR3 slot, ensure it matches the supported speeds listed in your BIOS. For heavy gaming performance, confirm that your CPU and RAM are compatible with the same or higher supported frequencies. Adjusting the speed to the highest supported value should maintain stability and performance.
Verify the thaiphoon burner for a RAM IC type if you're unsure about removing the heatsink. If it's a Hyix chip, you likely have high-quality components capable of handling over 3000 MHz. For other types, performance will still be solid, around the 2000s range, except for Elpida and PSC 4Gbits which are outdated. These older chips won't exceed 2666 MHz. If your system uses 16GB RAM, it's running dual-rank instead of single-rank, which usually limits it to about 2666 MHz due to voltage constraints. However, dual-rank offers roughly 30% more bandwidth, so it should easily surpass 3000 MHz. For confirmation, share a screenshot of your burner setup.
Keep in mind your RAM is a 2x8 DDR3 1866 Fury Hyper X Kingstone Blue. Will you encounter any problems? Since you can adjust the clock speed to around 2800MHz, it should be fine.
I don't understand your message. You have two 8GB RAM slots, so dual-channel 16GB RAM.
Don't know what to do. As I mentioned earlier, verify if it will be posted. If so, assess the stability. If it functions properly, there should be no major problems.
Check for consistent performance and no sudden drops. Look for steady signals and reliable operation over time.
