Yep the GSkill RJ Xs are great sticks, what are you thinking about it for? If for a AMD APU, they are great, but few AMD CPUs can handle 2133, for Intel, will prob want a K model CPU

The mobo might handle it, but have strong doubts the 6300 will, the memory controller is in the CPU and that determines what DRAM you can run, 6300s normally top out at 1866, have seen a few hit 2133, but not many....Safe bet would be 1866/9, though if the RJ Xs are priced at/near the 1866 sticks available might be worth a try, if need be can drop to 1866 and run them

well your mobo supports that speed but it is really up to the cpu-mobo combo to determine the support. anyway even you wont be able to run them at their rated speed, you can always run them at lower speed but with lower timings also!

What is the model # of the RJs, generally dropping from 2133 to 1866 you simply drop the first 3 base timings by 1 and the 4th timing by two, so if your 2133 sticks are specced to 10-10-10-30 say, then for 1866 start with trying 9-9-9-28
