Hello! I have a question and can't find the answer by myself. I'm selecting motherboard for my new computer. I think it's important, that i won't over clock or upgrade anything(only additional ram may be). So i'm thinking about Asus B85M-G because it's one of the cheapest boards with 4 DIMM. So the question is: does this motherboard support XMP for 1866mhz RAM? I was thinking about 1600 RAM but they cost the same value. So will i be able to use 1866 RAM on this motherboard?
I didn't order any components yet so i suppose it will:

Chieftec APS-550CB 550W
SSD CRUCIAL MX100 CT128MX100SSD1 128Гб
Core i5 4460, LGA 1150, OEM
Asus gtx 970
8Gb 1866MHz Kingston HyperX Fury (HX318C10FK2/8)
ASUS B85M-G

If you have any suggestions about this config i will appreciate. Computer is for gaming and work. Don't plan to upgrade in future. Use 3-4 years then full upgrade.
Thank you for any help and sorry for my english

 
Solution
No profiles for it on the board but is for 1600. Most of that ram will have spd at 1333 and either has to have XMP profile enabled or speed and timings put in manually.


Thank you for recommendation, but i don't have any psu of this brand in my region 😵

And about RAM. What does it mean that it will not work on 1866 on XMP? Motherboard doesn't have any profiles or what?
