Will core i5 4690 benefit from more than 1600mhz ram speed

[Tech1080]

I have pc with following specifications

CPU :Core i5 4690 non k
motherboard : ASUS Z97-PRO GAMER LGA 1150
ram : Kingston Hyper X 8 GB 1600 MHz
psu :CORSAIR RMx RM750X 750W
gpu : Msi r9 390x 8 GB
ssd : Samsung evo 250 GB
hard disk : seagate 4tb x2


Currently looking for replacing current ram with Kingston Hyper X Savage 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 2133 MHz two sticks as motherboard supports ram oc to 3200 MHz.

It is mentioned on Intel website that core i5 4690 support 1333/1600 MHz.I just want to confirm that will core i5 4690 benefit from more than 1600 MHz ram speed or it will run new rams only at 1600 MHz regardless of applying xmp profile in bios.

You could probably run them at 1866 with it, but 2133 is unlikely with a non k chip

So in order to use those speed I need at least k model of i7 or i5 ? it means I would be better off with buying 1866 MHz ram unless I also upgrade CPU to k series model

Honestly the benefit of faster ram is so small it rarely makes sense to upgrade to faster ram. It only typically makes sense when it's only a few bucks more up front. I'd just keep what I had if I were u

I would try ocing the ram I had first... bump dram voltage to 1.55v and change speed to 1866 and see what happens. If that doesn't work change first number in timings up 1

Alright I am keeping what I already have and have decided to go with just 8gb 1600mhz one stick
