Any 1150 socket mobo with 2133mhz ram support for £60-£80?

dodostarforce · May 5, 2014

I can't seem to find and motherboards under £200.... is this wishful thinking? are there no mobos that support fast ram at this price? Should I just get slower ram?

Hi,
This motherboard supports RAM speeds more than 2133Mhz

But why do you need a RAM with speeds of 2133?

It gives better performance doesn't it? I'm pairing it up with an i5 4670k and a gtx 780 with an ssd so i don't want any bottlenecks. Great motherboard suggestion, I will almost certainly get it

thanks.

Yes it gives better performance on synthetic benchmarks only, the human eye and brain will not spot those tiny differences between RAM speeds of 1600Mhz and 2133Mhz.
I would say get 1600Mhz with CL9 or since you have Haswell i5, get nothing more than 1866Mhz, Haswells do like 1866Mhz

Performance bottleneck comes from GPU/CPU not from mobo. For info please. This mobo is a good choice as well.

i meant RAM speeds not mobo, I'm getting 2133mhz ram so needed a mobo to support. he asked why i need 2133mhz ram.

maurelie :

This is indeed a great motherboard. Remember OP that 2133MHz isn't really needed... 1866MHz will do fine if you are gaming.

sora :

same price anyway, I may well just get 1866mhz but it's always good to keep upgrading/overclocking in mind
