I bought an Asus A88XM-A mobo
AMD 7870K proc
G-Skill Ripjaws 2133 F3-2133C11D-16GXL

The memory defaults to 1600, when I set it to 2133 I get a message that my OC has failed. My understanding is the processor and mobo can run 2133 native. Am I missing something, or is this combo not capable of 2133? Any help is appreciated.
 
Are you also setting the timings and voltage when you set the speed?
 
get the rig to bot.
open cpu-z to the spd tab.
write the jdec timings down and set them up manualy in the bios.
 
Funny thing is I can set the speed manually but the timings seem to be locked. Haven't figured out how to unlock them yet. This should run 2133 though, correct? I'm not crazy, right?
 
Did you hit +/- on the timings?
You're in the DRAM Timing Control window, correct?
