Stupid mistake

[fire_storm]

Hi

So I did order my new PC after discussing it here and with NCIX PC guy and now I just found out a stupid mistake, not sure if it is an issue though

the ram I ordered NCIX.com - Buy Adata Gaming Series 6GB DDR3 3X2GB DDR3-1600 CL 9-9-9-24 Triple Channel Memory Kit W/ Heatsink - AX3U1600GB2G9-3G In Canada.
Mobo NCIX.com - Buy Gigabyte X58A-UD3R ATX LGA1366 X58 DDR3 4PCI-E SATA3 USB3.0 Sound GLAN CrossFireX SLI Motherboard - GA-X58A-UD3R In Canada.

After reading some reviews I noticed this, the mobo doesn't support memory 1600... yeh..
so will it down clock? OC? no idea..
the PC is still shipping

Yes it will clock down fine. But I also think your mobo will run 1600mhz ram. Not many x58 mobo's officially support ddr1600 but the majority of them run it by changing the divider.

Yup, The memory will probably run at 1333 if you let everything no auto. but with some paying in the bios or a bit of OC you will be able no prob tu run this memory at 1600Mhz.

Most systems that I've been fortunate enough to be involved in don't always list the manufacturer that will run with their motherboard, and generally say only a few different speeds. When we've had a chance to try different speeds that weren't listed, everything worked fine except once. As a previous member stated, when you go into the bios and manually set your ram speed, I've always seen just about every speed I know of and even some I hadn't seen before.
Also, if a board will run 1066,1333 and 2000, why can't it run anything in between. I'm no expert just tried a few different things and maybe those who really know will shed some light on this as I'm curious myself to find out.
Good luck, and I'm sure everything will be just fine.

I'm running G.Skill Pi 1600MHz on my X58A-UD3R. I believe the Intel official specs only go up to 1333MHz as the official top speed, but pretty much every chip can handle 1600MHz (or very close) without an overclock. Just gotta change the multiplier and put the voltages correctly and you should be good to go. I'm going to guess it's 1.65V (Gigabyte boards usually only let you do 1.64 or 1.66, which I've always chosen 1.66.) but check the sticker on the RAM itself. Should list the voltage it's rated for.
