DX79SR and i7 3930K can't run 2133 MHz. Waste of money?

So many problems. Where do I start. How about intel's update utility. Personally it's garbage software. It fails to install Chipset, Bluetooth, Network, RAID and Ethernet drivers. Had to manually look them up and install. All worked except for the Chipset. Failed to install about 5 times already. Right click and unblock, set to run as Administrator and still fails to install. Have 16 GB of Ripjaws 2133 MHz, yet it runs them at a sluggish 1600 MHz. There's plenty of videos on you tube where ASUS and MSI run them stable at 2133. I built an new system for a friend with an AMD 8320 and that felt faster than my overpriced setup. Anything over 1600 MHz and it just crashes. There's plenty of watts and voltage. So that's not the issue. Just a weak motherboard. Not one bit satisfied!
