Hi

Is this MB able to run this Ram and if not, can I get it to run faster that 1333?

ASUS S1150 ATX Z87-DELUXE/DUAL Motherboard
DDR3 32GB (4x8G) G.Skill TridentX 2666MHz Ram Kit PN F3-2666C11Q-32GTXD

Thanks in advance

If it's reading as 1333 in CPU-Z then it's running correctly at 2666. DDR = Double data rate, meaning information is moving on the rising and falling edges of the clock cycle. CPU-Z reads actual speed in Mhz and you double that for effective speed. Memory is sold marketed at effective speed.
