z87-A RAM?

Truebrit · 24 Feb 2014 at 06:42

The memory specs of the z87-A are:

Memory Speed (Mhz):
DDR3 - 1333
DDR3 - 1600
DDR3 - 1866

Does that mean that's the maximum RAM speed the board can use?

Thanks.

If you mean Asus Z87-A, it allows memory up to 2800mhz.
Check the product info at OCuk store for full details.

Looking at the spec below the board can take higher speed ram but will require a overclock on the FSB, up to 1600 mhz is fine.

It's a cracking board for clocking ram. I have my Sammy greens running at 2133mhz with timings of 9-10-10-21-1T with only 1.5v.

If going by Intel official specs yes ,but no it can use higher and will have the XMP profiles in Bios for the faster kits.
