Hello, im going to keep this one pretty simple.

Lets assume im going witha Maximus VII Ranger MB, which supports upto really high RAM speeds. I decide to put a intel 4770K in there. According to intel's specs, this processor only supports 1333 and 1600 mhz RAM, so does this mean I cant for example put 2133 mhz ram in the board, even though the MB itself supports it?

May seem like a dumb question but id just like to know for sure.

Thanks in advance,
Rick
