So i recently ordered my motherboard which is a ASrock Fatal1ty Z87 Killer LGA 1150, because i am only 17 my income from my job is little and i ordered that first, now i have enough money to order my RAM but, Since i wanted my processor to be a Xeon E3 1245V3 because i have heard they are very good and tend to be better than I7's. So i went looking what types of memory speeds it supports, it says it supports 1600, and 1333. But the memory i was looking at was a CORSAIR Vengeance Pro 16GB 1866 CMY16GX3M2A1866C9R. (i like how the color matches the motherboard), Since the Xeon only supports 1600 i was asking my one friend if he knew if the CPU would automatically adjust the RAM for the speed it supports or if i have to buy 1600 ram since it only supports 1600 speed. He said that he didn't know. So that was no help. Also since the new Xeon's have the DDR3 memory controller on the CPU itself this means that i do not need to use the ECC memory am i Correct? or do i still need the ECC memory? and if this is true i am probably just gonna end up buying a lower end I7 then. And the reason for the Xeon or I7 is because i use computers heavily since i am into networking and stuff and plan on going to college for it and figured since i am that its probably a good thing to have a high powered computer then. Also what timing am i looking for in memory? i know that you want a low CAS latency speed so like a 9 and then does the timing even matter? or if you want it to be fast do you have to look for lower speeds in that too? So any thoughts at all are welcome! Thanks everyone!

When you install the DRAM it will drop to the mobos default (generally 1066 or 1333), you can then try enabling XMP and chances are you Xeon can carry the sticks at 1866, but if any problems give me a shout and we can set them manually to 1600 with tighter timings that will give you near 1866 performance

So basically i should buy the 1600 Corasir memory set so i dont have to mess around with overclocking memory or BIOS stuff? and i do not the ECC memory?

Okay so ill get the 1600 memory, but im still confused do i need to ECC memory? or dont i because i dont want to spend money and then have to return it because it will not work, im just wondering because i just looked a build on PCpartpicker with the Xeon E3 1245V3 and the guy had crucial sever memory that was ECC non buffered.

Should, Yes
Okay so after looking at PCpartpicker and looking at xeon builds we both are correct and that memory will work, but now i have a question about the memory type, should i just stick with the corsair 16gb or get HyperX HX316C10FBK2/16 1600 16GB?
