Hey there.
I could use a little help here.
I have a kingston hiperx 8GB ram memory (KHX1600C10D3B1/8GB) installed on my PC, but its running at 1333 MHz instead of the advertised 1600. I made some digging and found out that it's not an anomaly, vendor says that the card CAN run at 1600, no problem, but its set by default at 1333 and I can manually set the speed if I want to.
Also made some digging on forums and some people say it can be done, no harm there, and others say it's not worth risking (whatever the risk is) and just let it be, because I wouldn't notice the difference anyway, but I have always relied on techspot for my PC issues, and so I do so again.
Main question here is, should I change it from 1333 to 1600, and if I should, whats the proper way to do it?
If useful, the other specs of my PC are ASUS A-88XM A motherboard, with AMD A10 6790K APU@4 GHz and RADEON R7 240 2GB DDR3 Video card.
I use it mainly for gaming, view my series, working and making video dvds
Thanks in advance for whatever help you can give me
