I am planning to buy 5820k and here comes with some motherboard choices
The first one i am interested is asus x99 sabertooth
but according the specification page
http://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/SABERTOOTH_X99/specifications/
it says it only supports 2133/2400 ddr4 ram
wt if i buy a gskill ripjaws4 4x4gb 3000mhz
would those sticks be recognized as 3000mhz or would it only be 2400mhz on this board?

I mean if the board cant recognized these sticks as 3000mhz would the other two msi boards do?
and wt is the difference between these two MSI motherboards ?
X99A SLI PLUS and X99S SLI PLUS

http://tw.msi.com/product/mb/X99S-SLI-PLUS.html#hero-overview
As these 2 boards say 3000mhz ram is supported
Which one is better?

ps. sorry for bad english

Yeah you re right . i have been digging things up . The ram will downclock to 2400mhz but i can do the xmp right? If xmp is enabled it should be 3000mhz .
Thanks so much , this is the first time i build my pc , i'm trying make things clear so i wont mess it up.
