Hi
Thinking to upgrade my mobo, cpu and memory.
Picked out from OCUK
i7-6700K 4.0GHz (Skylake) Socket LGA1151 Processor
Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 Intel Z170 (Socket 1151) DDR4 ATX Motherboard
I will not be overclocking or doing anything fancy so will be running SPD.
Say i bought Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C15 3000MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black
what would be the base memory clock speed be if i was running everything on default SPD (it wouldnt run at 3000mhz) as the chip is only limited to 2133mhz speeds right? Try to get my head around this again
Is it a waste to buy that higher clocked memory when i am not going to overclock?
