Your 3200 MHz RAM should work at 2100 MHz; why would you replace it with 2100 MHz RAM? The seller will give you back the cost difference if you get slower RAM?

I would not recommend changing them, mostly because you can still use them, or also the other ones could perform worst. If you want to run them at 2133, you should lower the clocks in the bios and lower the timings manually, around 2133, 11 11 11 24 maybe, you should make stability test to make sure its working correctly, also you can lower the timings to get better performance out of them, sometimes its worth the try

Hi GhislainG and Krnt,

Thanks for Immediate response
Hence my CPU is limited for 2133mhz, I can't utilize 3200mhz, so for better performance I wanted utilize lower CAS latency RAM.

Below are the gskill parts available with the seller
3000mhz 15.16.16.35 (f4-3000c16d-16gtzb
3200mhz 16.16.16.35 (f4-3200c16d-16gtzb)
2400mhz 15.15.15.35 (F4-2400C15D-16GVR)

The cost difference of above three RAMs is $10 that I can get some other product, said by seller.

FYI already I sent the faulty 3200mhz RAM to seller for replacement and the seller is waiting for my alternate RAM part details, so I can't test my pc until the receive the alternate part.

Technically please suggest the better option to select the RAM.

Thanks for your time and support

Hello GhislainG, good morning!

Again thanks for Immediate response with technical info

You mean to I can change the time latency through bios setting

In this case as you suggested I will go with 3200mhz 16.16.16.35 (f4-3200c16d-16gtzb) and change the CAS latency to 15.15.15.35

Thanks

Thank you!
so i will install CPU-Z tool and check the JDEC1, JEDEC2...etc on SPD table, accordingly i will change the latency and check.
do i need to enable XMP on BIOS before doing this?
do i need to do any setting in the CPU?
please share, if you have any step by step procedure document.

Regards
Raam.
