Hello,
I'm currently upgrading my computer with an ASUS M5A97 R2.0 mainboard and AMD FX-8350.
Regarding the RAM I'm considering two G.Skill options, the 2133MHz CL11 F3-17000CL11D-8GBXL and the 1600MHz CL9 F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL.
I would like to run the RAM at 1866MHz, without any loss of speed compared to the standard settings. Would it be possible to either downclock the 2133 to 1866 with lower CL or overclock the 1600 ones, possibly with higher CL as long as it's not negating the MHz overlock? If so, which is the better option?
Also, when downclocking the 2133 to 1866 or in the worst case to 1600, would that allow me to use 4 modules with the mainboard and CPU? At the 2133MHz I believe it would not be possible.
Thanks a lot in advance.
