If you are not OCing then I would just leave bios at default settings?

the annoying bit most of all is i have 3 - 2gb ddr3 which state 2000mhz but i know that aint possible so i put volts to 1.65v and put the memory as 1600 - 9-9-9-24 but i can not go higher

Is that an older X58 triple channel set you are using?

 

[Souljasteve84]

yes im afraid so could it be the memory letting me down, would you say i have a good setup !! cheers for the help man

Pull out third memory stick, leave the DRAM voltage at 1.65 volts, and try to set 1866. To reach 2000, you may need to increase bus frequency.

 

[brandonwh64]

I would leave it 1600Mhz if you are not OCing the CPU

I would leave it 1600Mhz if you are not OCing the CPU

FX has native support for 1866, so if the memory supports this rate, it is more efficient. On the other CPU, I fully agree, I would also prefer 1600 with less latency.

Yeah 1866 should be totally doable if your ram can do it atleast. The same goes for 2000Mhz. There are some RAM settings for bulldozer I posted in http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2599326, perhaps those can help you.
