*cpu says it can only use 1333 ddr3, but i have seen other posts of people using higher frequency ram.*

im mostly likely not going to oc the ram. ive oc'd the cpu to 4ghz on stock at 1.100v and im leaving it alone aha. So these should plug and play and just resort back down to 1333 speeds to match the pentiums specs? or will they run at the full 1600 mhz? will running higher speed ram damage the cpu at all?
