Hello. I was recently looking at a old motherboard that has native ram speeds of 1300Mhz and 1600MHz. What would happen if you went over that native measurement?

Jedec doesn't impose limits. They set the standards and they can't keep up with ram being released. They've only published standards up to 2133 for ddr3 yet we have 2400+. Ocing has always gone above set standards no matter what company set it. It's what ocing is. Technically there is no limit besides hardware ocing limits. And you don't always get instability issues for ocing or else there wouldn't be such a huge ocing scene.
