RAM question

[ThatMoose]

I am building a gaming pc soon. The motherboard I am using is the asus rampage iv extreme and for the ram speeds it says


Memory Standard
DDR3 2400(O.C.)/2133(O.C.)/1866/1600/1333/1066

Can I use ram with the speeds of 2133 and still have it stable?

Also what 16 gb (4x4gb) ram sets are great? I will buy two sets to have 32 gb in total.

Thanks for the help!

Have you looked at this?

Other memory may work, but this has been tested by Asus.

So I can put 2400 ram in it?

Yes, you can. Depending on the CPU, it might run at 2400 or not. I would use configurators for finding compatible kits. For example

Well I know the IMC of AMD's chips. Phenom II's like 1333Mhz ram and bulldozer/piledriver likes 1866Mhz, not sure about intel. I don't think I would go as high as 2400Mhz yet because the IMC of current cpu's are not optimized for those speeds yet.

I'm using a i7 3930K I will check.
