CPUz SPD Tab where SPD Tab shows us what the initial Ram timings should be at DDR3-1600 which is the same as a Ram Frequency of 800Mhz. DDR is calculated by multiplying 800MHz by 2 for DDR3-1600 rate.
Sure you have trouble navigating in bios...you have to read manual and then cross-reference what you need with what the manual says. Plus there are many articles on the net that describe ram timings and names fairly accurate.
I downloaded the manual for your motherboard from the Asus website. Opened in my .pdf reader to page #49 which is also section 2-11.
What you know? I see memory clock mode. Oh shett I need to change something so I need to set the Memory Clock Mode to MANUAL. THEN choose [800MHZ] Since that corresponds to DDR-1600. Now ram is set to DDR-1600. Wow.
Ah hah now I need to set ram timings. Oh crap just below where I set Memory Clock Mode, I see DRAM Timing Mode set to [Auto]. I must need to do something here. Set first dram timing mode to [BOTH]. BOTH so both sticks of ram are being setup.
Now the last four (4) descriptors on bottom of page #49 are to be changed in order to 10, next 10, next 10 and fourth on that page to 27. Then go to page #50 section 2-12 and skipping one setting >> set DRAM Row Cycle Time to 41. Then go all the way to the bottom of the ram settings to DRAM Command Rate and set [2T]. THE REST can or should be able to REmain on AUTO.
Oh wow, now the next setting is Memory Over Voltage...set it to 1.55V or very close there to.
There now you have set up the ram timings and HOPE that board responds okay since we have NO experience with how that older chipset board will like to run DDR3-1600 ram with a later version of an FX processor.
