As mentioned I've had that same board and had no problems running 1600mhz ram once I got it all tweaked right. In many cases, amd IMCs are rated for a max of 1333mhz, but plenty can run higher, such as 1600 without issue. My recommendation would be to try the 1600, and if you run into any issues switch back to 1333. Cant hurt to try, and you will get a boost from the higher clocked memory as well. My Thuban IMC is rated at 1333mhz, but can easily support 1800mhz stable, so you should have some breathing room, even though your processor design is slightly different.Please put the dram frequency back to 1333 mhz. The issue in this case is not how fast your ram is rated for but what the CPU on-die memory controller (IMC)can handle and you will probably find the system will not quite be stable with the ram at 1600 mhz. The IMC is only rated for 1300 mhz on that CPU. It is the limiting factor. I have run that CPU family and can tell you it won't likely take the ram at 1600 mhz.
and i can go buy a cooler for more room on temps
