No ram has no problem running at slower speed than it is max tested for and for faster ram usually the spd is 1333MHz and the faster speeds are XMP profiles for Intel, AMP for AMD or has to be set manually in BIOS.

I can't imagining it not working unless the memory's slowest SPD profile is too fast for the motherboard, but I've never seen that scenario. Another reason I can't imagine it: even the fastest DIMMs are rarely made with RAM chips rated faster than 1333-1600MHz.
