i want to buy memory ram for my AMD A8 6600K . I have two options - 1866MHz memory or 2133Mhz memory. I saw , with faster memory i will get better performance. But this AMD A8 6600K have max 1866Mhz memory controler. If i buy 2133Mhz memory, my system will be stable at this speed? This will affect my CPU memory controler or something?? I don't want an unstable system or to damage in time my components. As motherboard i have gigabyte-ga-f2a85x-d3h .This motherboard support up to 2600Mhz memory (OC)

Na its fine either way I have 1600 MHz ram running at 1866 and all is well... the advantage to downclocking is it will work 100% of the time anytime you go to OC ram, there is always some chance it may not perform above rated specs, all memory can perform below spec... and there is a small chance it may just work at 2133. Heck the price difference between 1600 and 2133 is basically none, sometimes the faster ram is actually cheaper. but you want Low CL 2133 (9 is very preferable) usually its not as big of a deal but it makes a noticeable difference with an APU.

you can always buy 2133 and run it at 1866 it wont hurt anything, or you can buy good 1600 MHz ram and OC it to 1866 (try to find CL7 1600 ram, or CL9 2133 ram) both will be more expensive but if you're using an apu that money will actually be well spent.

Thanks a lot for ur detailed suggestion......my personal choice is to buy 2133 bus ram. BQZ i think if i use 1600 bus ram & overclock it to 1866 that ram may have always in a streesfull state which may hamper ram life or performence?!!!!!!!!! if my thinking is wrong plz inform me.........plz

See all that depends on your budget, a 1600mhz memory is also good but 2133 is better. Now get the one which fits ur budget. But i'd say get a 2133,as the prices are nearly the same in your country. That type of deals don't happen here. ;)
