Hey guys for Christmas I received the TUF z270 MARK1 ASUS motherboard and vengeance LPX 3200MHz RAM. Unfortunately these components don’t work with my current cpu (i5 4690) this means il have to get a new cpu, the motherboard is very specific about which processors it supports, if you could suggest one for me, I was looking a the i7 7700k but you should probably consider this first!
While I was online I came across the specs of some of the cpu’s That the mb supports like the i7 7700k for example which apparently won’t be able to support the speed of the RAM (3200mhz) because on the intel website it says something about and I quote
Memory Types DDR4-2133/2400,
DDR3L-1333/1600
@1.35V
I’m not completely sure what this means but what I see is that this cpu will slow my 3200mhz RAM down to 2133mhz which would mean I wasted my money on fast RAM, but i could be confused. So in conclusion could you suggest a cpu that works with my motherboard and doesn’t hold back my RAM
Thank you very much in advance
