Memory Clock speed issues

Hi, im a noob and firt time PC buider and I need some help.
I have just put together the following system
Intel Core i7 870 Lynnfield 2.93GHz 8MB LGA1156

ASUS P7P55D-E LX ATX
OCZ Intel Extreme Series 2x2GB DDR3-1600 CL8
Prolimatech Megahalems Rev. B CPU Cooler
Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB 32MB 7200rpm SATAII
Western Digital 500GB 16MB 7200 SATAII
EVGA nVidia GeForce GTS450 1GB GDDR5 PCI-E
Silverstone Strider Essential ST50F-ES 500W PSU 80 PLUS
AOC IF23 IPS 16:9 Full HD 6ms Tilt Blue LCD Monitor
Microsoft Windows 7 OEM Home Premium 64Bit
Asus DVD drive
SPDIF card
Firewire Card

im having an issue with my Ram defaulting to 1066, could someone give me a quick run down on how to setup the speed in a safe manner?
I did have a little play in the BIOS but kept getting BSOD and had to reformat the HDD and reinstall windows

Cheers, Jason

At a default BCLK of 133, adjust the DRAM Frequency option to DDR3-1603 = a x12 DRAM multiplier. Also manually adjust the four primary DRAM timings and voltage to what OCZ spec'd the modules to run at (probably 8-8-8-24 at 1.65V), and leave all of the sub-timings on Auto. Without making any other adjustments, boot to Memtest86+ to check RAM stability.
