Hi everyone!

I just finished assembling my hackintosh hardware and I am somewhat surprised by the geekbench score of 19 800, when the build I was modelling it after had a score 25 000 overclocked...
I bought 2133 ram but for some reason the bios automatically puts it at 1600...I tried manually overclocking the ram with no success until I tried the XMP profile #2 which was exactly the specs of the ram. But after a hard reboot I got the overclocking boot failure and that I needed to change it in the bios which I did and later learned it was only because of that hard boot.
My inital try I got the ram to 2133 and my cpu core ratio limit to 44 "sync all cores" but only got a result of 20 700 which either doesn't affect it vey much or I am doing it wrong...
I've read this board isn't too fond of very precise tweaks and should be mostly be left to the auto positions but what could I do to get a decent amount of boost without getting to complicated or dangerous for the system?
I would like to push my cpu a bit and get the ram to at least the speed it was made for...how could I go about doing that in the bios?

Thanks!
