reason for why i asked was because under specs of the i7-4770k it said memory types supported: ddr3 1600mhz. nothing else. >>>>http://www.microcenter.com/product/413248/Core_i7_4770K_35GHz_Socket_LGA_1150_Boxed_Processor and i remember people saying the 3770k standard supported ram is ddr3 1600mhz, anything higher is considered OC, and voids intel warranty
