If I buy an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 (which has an FSB of 1333 mhz), an ASUS Striker II Extreme (Which supports 1600/1333MHz FSB ), and 4 GB of G.SKILL Ripjaws DDR3 2000 (PC3 16000) RAM, Will the parts all run at max factory standards? (Will the RAM work at speeds normal DDR3 2000 RAM would run at?) Sorry, not exactly sure how the Motherboard + CPU FSB and memory Speeds are related, but I just want to make sure Im getting 100% out of what I buy, before I buy it. Thanks, nnjz (Formerly known as Image). i think they will all run at the lowest setting of 1333 mhz because i think the RAM, processor and MoBo all have to run at the same speeds, but dont quote me on thatI thought so aswell..

I think it means the motherboard will detect the RAM speed and SELECT the right speed when system STARTS up. Before you buy the motherboard, you should look at the instruction manual.

I wasnt sure if DDR3 2000 PC3 16000 RAM ran at 2000mhz or 1600mhz (it turns out to be 2000mhz). By default, the fastest a motherboard can AUTOMATICALLY detect is 1333 mhz. If you have memory that is rated for higher speeds, you have to go through the steps you would take to overclock the RAM to get it to its specified speeds. Yet, it technically isnt overclocking unless you bring it ABOVE the specified speeds.

Hello,

Im building a new computer, and just starting to get to the nitty gritty.

If I buy an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 (which has an FSB of 1333 mhz),
an ASUS Striker II Extreme (Which supports 1600/1333MHz FSB ),
and 4 GB of G.SKILL Ripjaws DDR3 2000 (PC3 16000) RAM,

Will the parts all run at max factory standards? (Will the RAM work at speeds normal DDR3 2000 RAM would run at?)

Sorry, not exactly sure how the Motherboard + CPU FSB and memory Speeds are related, but I just want to make sure Im getting 100% out of what I buy, before I buy it.

Thanks,

i think they will all run at the lowest setting of 1333 mhz because i think the RAM, processor and MoBo all have to run at the same speeds, but dont quote me on thatI thought so aswell..

Can anyone confirm this?

ANOTHER Question;
