Hey guys. My old motherboard has recently died and I'm looking to buy a new one. I'm currently tight on budget so I'm looking for an economic one.
I've found this deal (MSI 760GM-P23 FX), which sounds like a perfect specs for such price and all of my previous hardware is compatible with it... well, almost all. My current RAM x2 4GB RAM sticks are both 1600 Mhz, while this new motherboard appears to be supporting maximum of 1333 Mhz.
If I connect my old RAM sticks, will I be damaging this new motherboard since they are more powerful than intended? It's not an issue for me that I'm not going to be getting my RAM fullest performance I only care whenever or not I'm shortening my motherboard's lifespan.
