Can i run 1866mhz hyperx fury on 1600mhz max supported motherboard?

Solution
^ that's not strictly true - 99% of the time 1866mhz ram will run fine on a board that only supports up to 1600mhz.

It'll just run at a preset 1600mhz SPD/xmp profile.

I've bought faster ram than the boards allow for a lot of builds in the past simply because sometimes its on sale at a cheaper price.
