he 4690 can generally handle most any freq available, for client builds I generally look to 1866-2400, though it depends on what you do. Gaming - 1600 will suffice, with the prices and slight gains available in gaming 1866-2133 is the sweet spot. If you multi task alot and or use DRAM intensive apps then 2133-2400 is th sweet spot, you can go higher but prices tend to rise sharply after 2400
