I hear ya on the AMD. I didn't have high hopes for it but was worth a try. Here is what some of the Gigabyte mobo's are saying on Newegg's website.

To reach DDR3 2200 MHz and above, you are required to use with Intel Core i7/Core i5 CPU without HD Graphics and install a discrete graphics card. When using Intel Core i5/Core i3/ Pentium CPU with HD Graphics, the maximum memory speed supported is 1666 MHz

It says 2200 MHz but I am only trying 2133MHz.
Maybe if I install a GPU on this mobo. Let me give that a try.
EDIT: That won't work as the MSI setup I had going had a GPU installed. There is no room at all for a GPU to be installed on the Gigabyte as the CPU heatsink is about as big as the mobo!
