:hello: Howdy, I'1000 wondering if I'm able to use 2 1600mhz ram sticks on a motherboard that uses 1333 or 1066mhz?

motherboard - Asus M5A78L-K 60
ram sticks - Thou.Skill Ripjaws Gaming - DDR3 1600 mhz - ii x 4GB

IMO it'due south best to stick with DDR3-1333, only DDR3-1600 will by default run at DDR3-1333 frequency. Running the Athlon Ii X3 460 at DDR3-1333 vs DDR3-1600 won't be more than a ~1%~2% proceeds and the added instability burden wouldn't exist my pick.

So if the DDR3-1600 fix you lot're looking at is cheaper than competing DDR3-1333 choose the cheapest per your budget.

Welcome back to Tom'southward Forum! :)

Aye you lot can utilize DDR3-1600 or fifty-fifty faster on your ASUS M5A78L-M LX, just it depends on the CPU itself. Phenom X4 are fine with DDR3-1600 with FSB OC (DOCP), Phenom X6 up to DDR3-2000 with aforementioned OC, and FX's DDR3-1866 is native speed up to the highest non-XMP frequency and if the JEDEC offers DDR3-1866 then at full native frequency.

Yes you can use DDR3-1600 or even faster on your ASUS M5A78L-M Threescore, but it depends on the CPU itself. Phenom X4 are fine with DDR3-1600 with FSB OC (DOCP), Phenom X6 up to DDR3-2000 with same OC, and FX'south DDR3-1866 is native speed up to the highest non-XMP frequency and if the JEDEC offers DDR3-1866 then at full native frequency.

Ok... Sorry, I'm not likewise practiced at this :sweat: Could yous tell how the Athlon II X3 460 will perform?

And so if the DDR3-1600 ready you lot're looking at is cheaper than competing DDR3-1333 choose the cheapest per your upkeep.
