"Have I been scammed by Newegg?" No, you apparently don't know how (or haven't taken the time) to configure the memory settings in the BIOS.

Memory controller supports DDR3-1333 and DDR3-1600 memory http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Core_... That means if u have faster memory, the memory controller inside the CPU will underclock the memory speed to DRR3 1600. For God sake overclock your core i7 3770K if u wanna take advantage of DRR3 1866. The Intel Ivy Bridge (Core i7 3770K) Review http://www.anandtech.com/show/5771/... Undervolting and Overclocking on Ivy Bridge http://www.anandtech.com/show/5763/... What else do u need? You know the real meaning of peace only if you have been through the war.
