I am a newbie in this. I have an A10 6700. I Know this cpu is compatible with up to 1866 ram. I bought faster ram at 2133. i can run theram at lower speed 1866. I want to knowwhat happens with cpu if I run the ram at 2133.please explain in detail if possible. Thanks

If you bring up the BCLK you will over clock your CPU. This could cause instability with your system unless you bring up your CPU voltage to compensate. Also high speed RAM sometimes needs more voltage so double check that too.

It is probably either best to stay with the recommended speed or get faster RAM and leave it under clocked.
