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 :p

Is it a waste to buy that higher clocked memory when i am not going to overclock?
