Hello all,
I have a P8H61-M motherboard and an Intel G620 Proc, and am looking to upgrade my ram from a single 2GB stick to 2x 4GB sticks. I plan on upgrading my motherboard and processor in september. I want to buy 1600MHz ram for when i get my new mobo and proc, but was curious about timings and whatnot.
I know the motherboard support 1333/1066, so can i underclock 1600MHz ram to 1333 and lower the timing from 9-9-9-24 to like 7-8-8, or 8-8-8, or does memory not work this way?
If not, will i be fine running the 1600 ram on this mobo?
