New Mushkin ram 1600 advertised as cl9, is cl11, what can be done?

I purchased new ram, Mushkin Enhanced Blackline. Here is the link for the ram at newegg. Product number - 997069
Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model 997069 - Newegg.com

It is advertised as Timing 9-9-9-24, however upon inspection using CPUID and I have attached a screencap. It shows as 11-11-11-28. I am not a pro when it comes to messing with the bios settings, but is there something I have to do?

Ok guys, first off I can't find anything labeled XMP in my bios,, but I see something called DRAM E.O.C.P, which has settings for OFF, 1866, 2000 and higher. When I picked 1866, my bios puts up a red warning about setting system voltages correctly. In my specs is the exact name of my motherboard and all the components. Please help me, I got my big rig in bios and I am writing this from my laptop. I did try setting DRAM EOCP to 1866 and rebooting, but it failed to boot and told me to go back to bios to fix it ( set it back to original )

it's running at the right MHz but the Cas is off it should be 9-9-9-24
Can you do manual changes
Is it in XMP mode?

I wouldn't know which items to change to what values exactly. But I know what you are talking about, I have visited the manual timing part of bios and there are so many things to change, I was afraid I would break my computer.

Also, in the DRAM EOCP, there is no 1600mhz option, it starts with 1866 and up to 2400mhz

Ok you are running AMD FX

The ram you have I assume that it has potential of 1.65 volts ????

if that is so pretty much when you change it to 1866 you will type in 1.65 volts because that would be what you need to maintain that speed but......

What I want to tell you if you are not sure I would call up the service department and have a little chat about the ram you have purchase because that is the wrong set most 1600mhz ram I know has cas like 7-8-9 type speeds my vengeance ram was like 9-9-9-24 dual channel

I just don't want to have you do anything you'll regret because after all were not made of money

what was the ram you were running before ?

Little problem, I purchased the ram via amazon and had a friend send it to me here in POLAND. So it's not like I can just call support. Before this ram, i was using corsair 1600mhz and it pretty much has all the same issues this ram has, but it did not claim to be cl9, the corsair ram said it was cl11. So you think, 1866, but where do I change the volts? DRAM Voltage control? ok back up one second, when I pick 1866 from EOCP, the system voltage control changes to manual and the dram is already at 1.650V

Using the bios update tool supplied with the mobo, that tool does not seem to want to update my bios, it spits out all sorts of errors at me. BTW, I have F6 Bios. But I will try nonetheless, here goes nothing. Is there a tool that can tell you the exact kind of bios you have ?
