2400 Mhz RAM "Downgrade"

mason marnell@1457018692 · Jun 26, 2015

So on amazon there's 2400 Mhz ram for $20 less than 2133. Since the 2400 is 1.65 volts and the 2133 down is 1.5 and my mobo only supports 2133, could I like "turn down" my voltage/speed to fit my requirements? Thanks!

yeah you can turn down the speed, Just remember that ram speed does not affect gaming performance almost at all. Make sure the CAS latency is important too.

CHECK pcpartpicker.com to find the cheapest RAM with certain specs

Ok, and I might get this 1866 for $20 cheaper looks pretty good.

Is that ram good price for performance or whatever.

What mobo, the Fury sticks operate off PnP, so you'll need (and prob have) a newer mobo, 1155, 1150 or one of AMDs newer lines (cam out after 2011 or so

mason marnell@1457018692 :

get this, it is cheaper but it has a CAS latency of 9 rather than the hyperx which has 10

I have some crappy "stock" mobo I guess you'd call it. By the time I'd upgrade I would buy this one:
