Is it ok if 2133 works at 1600/1886?

I recently bought a Gigabyte FX990-UD3 MOBO, and I already have G.Skill 2x4 2133 memory, and was wondering if it's a bad thing that it will only run at 1600-1866 (Since my MOBO only can support up to 1866, with 2000 if OC'd?

 
Solution
It will certainly not harm the memory to run at a lower speed than it is rated. Running at either 1866 or 1600 is perfectly fine. No worries.
