hi, i want to ask if i can buy a memory with other frequency from the same type..
cause when i look at some cpu specs like of the new i5 6600k..
the intel's site specs shows that the Memory Types are "DDR3L 1600/DDR4 2133"
but the motherboard fits higher frequency then the CPU.
so the question is.. if the motherboard fits a ddr4 3000mhz.
the ddr4 3000mhz will work??
 
Solution
The DDR3 1600/DDR4 2133 are simply what the CPU is specced to, as with Haswell and others it's capable of higher dats rates (i.e. my 4770Ks are rated 1600 yet I run 2666 on one and 2800 on the other), keep in mind for 3000 which shouldn't be a problem, it will however take a OC of the CPU
