If I get 3200MHz/CL16 RAM and use it in a build that only supports let's say 2666Mhz, will its CL go down due to lower frequency? Thanks in advance!

Thank you for all the useful info, guys, I appreciate it! I've tried three module combinations (Black-Black-Blu-Blu; Blu-Blu-Black-Black; Black-Blu-Black-Blu), and the RAM worked in dual channel every time. The frequency is 1333 instead of 1600, but that's because of my CPU's IMC, I think...

I have a kit of two Kingston HyperX Black DDR3 2x4GB 1600MHz CL9 1,65V modules running in dual channel. A few days ago, I got two more modules for free, but I'm not sure if I should use them because that may be problematic. The modules are two Kingston HyperX Blu DDR3 2x4GB 1600MHz CL9 1,7-1,9V...

I've always thought that pretty much the only thing you have to keep in mind when choosing RAM is to make sure its frequency is supported by the motherboard, and that's what I did. My motherboard and RAM both support 1600 MHz, but according to CPU-Z, the actual frequency is 1333 MHz instead (or...
