Will the i7 3770 work with RAM clocked at 2133mhz?

[XavierTobin]

Intels website says it will not work, but i have heard otherwise!

Thanks for your help!

hi,
Just trying to get an answer on this question from www.crcomputerrepair.com, I guess not many people are into clocking ram.
Thanks

With K-chips, you can set the RAM clock multiplier higher than what is officially supported.

Intel makes absolutely no guarantees that their chips will work at clock rates any higher than what it says on the sticker, anything beyond that is at your own risk. It may work for some people and may not work for you or vice-versa and may require different amounts of tweaking from CPU to CPU, from motherboard to motherboard, from DIMM production batch to batch, from one DIMM manufacturer to the other, etc. Since this is not an officially supported speed, there is an infinite number of things that can go wrong and prevent you from getting there.

That said, there is only 1-3% performance difference between 1066 and 2133 in real-world applications so faster memory is really not worth bothering with unless you have money burning holes through your pockets and want to waste it on something marginally useful for bragging rights.
