Hi

i have a system asus MA99fx Pro R2.0 with a amd processer fx-8320 and F3-2133C10D-8GXM Memory 2 sticks of 4g memory

in looking to upgrade to 16g dual sticks memory

my question is this ,what would be the best kind of setup for the fasted runing memory without overclocking


1) since the fx processer Supports up to DDR3-1866 , anything above this would be useless and a waste , if not overclocking

so can i take my 2133 MHz existing memory and down clock it to 1866 and lower the timings?

and what timing do i use for the F3-2133C10D-8GXM running at 1866mhz


or should a buy a trident x 1866 MHz low latency memory

G.SKILL Trident X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-1866C8D-16GTX


or


G.SKILL Trident X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-2133C9D-16GTX

there is a $3 difference between the both



thanks
