Ddr3 1600 vs 2000

[valenvarion]

Hello, I have to change my memory modules, and i want to know, which is the best option for me.

I have a CPU: Phenom II x810 @3,2, MOBO: Asrock M3A790GHX 128, MEM: 2 x 2 GB 1600 MHz Samsung (but I think, it does some errors), GPU: VTX 6790 1 GB, and my CPU cooler is a big one, Scythe Mugen 2, so i haven't got a lot of space for the mem modules.

My question is: Will my system receive any benefits from 2000 MHz modules compared to 1600 MHz, or not? Actually, can the MOBO and the CPU run the 2000 MHz modules? At a lower speed, whit better cl-times?
I want 2x 4 GB modules.

Thanks a lot!

you will see barely any benefit. you wont even notice the difference if you drop down to 1333 ram, its not worth the extra money. Make sure you get ram that is on your motherboards compatable list.

yes your system will improve 15% with 2000mhz.but check yourself that how much memory overclocked it support check it in asrock site

Thanks.

My other question is: Is the ddr3 2000 MHz compatible at down? A have to change the memory modules. But when i will make my next step to upgrade my PC, i will change my MOBO, i think. So i want to buy mem modules compatible whit my mobo, and modern enough to run in my next ADM MOBO.
My AsRock MOBO can handle 1600 MHz models, but i dont know, that can it handle 2000 MHz model at 1600 MHz?
Because i think i will buy 2000 MHz modules, and when i upgrade the MOBO, i can use the MEM modules in the new MOBO too. Thats why i would like to know that can my systen handle the 2000 MHz modules (@1600)? On the website of AsRock there is no information abuot it...

there is no original 2000mhz module available this is just overclocking frequency the original one is 1333mhz or 1600mhz but i am not sure that your mobo an support 2000mhz module.
