Locked processor with 2400Mhz RAM?

TR10 · Sep 1, 2015

So I have small question, can locked processors handle 2400mhz memory or are they stuck with 1600mhz

Thanks!

uhm i think you are mistaking memory and frequency... also locked means locked. Usually it will be hard to overclock locked CPU.

Is 2400Mhz ram only for overclocking?

I'm a Newb so sorry for my ignorance ^w^

What is your CPU and what is your motherboard.
Without that info nobody can tell you what ram you can put on

I'm planning on getting an i5 4460 and ASRock H97 Pro4, so none of these components are purchased yet so you can recommend new ones but I do want a blue themed MoBo c:

the Processor you are buying support these rams DDR3-1333/1600, DDR3L-1333/1600 @ 1.5V even if you put higher frequency ram it wont work faster than the 1600MHz
Its pretty much same for the motherboard
While searching around i found this http://www.freshtechsolutions.co.uk/intel-core-i5-4460-3-4ghz-gigabyte-z97x-gaming5-motherboard-8gb-2400mhz-corsair-memory.html
Not sure if this will actually work on 2400MHz... maybe someone else can give you answer here
