Intel i7 6700k Ram Mhz capability

RealityGap · Aug 9, 2015

I was just reading the specs on the new Skylake i7 6700k, and it says, “Memory Types: DDR3L 1600/DDR4 2133” Does that mean that this ram kit wouldn’t be compatible: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231873 ??
I find it odd that the newest and highest spec Intel cpu would only support 2133 Hz or whatever or DDR4 ram...

2133 is what it's rated for, if willing to OC the CPU some should have no problem with 2800-3000+, much like the 4770K is 'ated' at 1600 yet I run full loads of 2666 on one, and on my other 2800 sticks

Tradesman1 :

So what effect does overclocking to allow the cpu to utilize ram over 2133 mhz have on the cpu? And how hard is it to make that change?

Tradesman1 · Aug 9, 2015

OCing the CPU also OCs the MC (memory controller) in the CPU which makes it easier to run high data rate DRAM and OCing isn't hard, untill you head for a very high OC

But does it have much of an effect on the lifetime of the cpu etc.?

No, not if done right, I still have heavily OCed Q6600 rigs out running from 2007, I OC my rigs and as example my SB 2500K rig running 4.8 about 24/7 from Dec 2010 is still running Strong ans is my IB 3570K at 4.7 from Feb 2012
