Cheap 1150 motherboard with 2400mhz ram support and USB 3.0?

RLarcosPES2 · Oct 10, 2014

I have already bought my ram sticks which are 2400mhz sticks. I would like to use them in their full potential . I can't find a cheap motherboard that supports that frequency. Any help????

to run 2400MHz ram you will also need a unlocked (k) i5 or i7 cpu and most probably overclock it also. with a non Z mobo regardless the cpu you will be limited at 1600MHZ

EDIT: for just gaming purposes running it even at 1600MHZ can still bring great results since you can drastically reduce CL timmings!

That's what I bought. It's out of the box 2400mhz why not use it with it's full potential? I am not planing on overclocking the cpu. So any cheaper mobo?

unfortunately, as i have explained there are requirements in order to run such high speed ram!

2400MHZ Timings: 11-13-13-35 Voltage: 1.65 these specs run only as an overclocked profile! wont run on any hardware!For anything higher than 1600MHZ a Z87- Z97 mobo is mandatory
