ASUS Sabretooth 990FX w/Gskill Sniper RAM Configuration?
I just built a computer yesterday. Its a gaming rig, I'm somewhat new to building PC's but it worked , so I guess I did ok. My question is about the ram. I have the ASUS Sabretooth 990FX/GEN 3 Rev 2. In there is a AMD FX-8350 8 core 4Ghz processor. I am also running a GTX 600ti OC (The MSI Twin Frozr IV). The PSU is a Rosewill Lightning 800w continuous psu. Also not sure if its important but its running a Corsair Force 128GB SSD w/Windows 7 Home Premium.
I put in the RAM which is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8... into the corresponding slots. When I was reading the reviews on the RAM it said that most of the people had to go into their BIOS and manually set the RAM to 1866Mhz because the MOBO recognizes it as 1333Mhz. So I went to the BIOS and what do you know it said it was 1333, so I changed it to 1866 and hit save and reset, thought well thats over no big deal, but when it comes back on it says that Overclocking Failed! Press F1 to configure.
Anybody know how to fix this problem? Any help is awesome.

Make sure you match the frequency, voltage and timings to the rated ones on the sticks.
BIOS defaults for RAM voltage can also be sometimes as low as 1.35v. If you manually make all of these settings, it should boot up as intended.
