Can I downclock 1600 to 1333 and use it with my CPU?

[lifprasir]

Hello, I just ordered my motherboard and processor.

Motherboard : http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131646&cm_re=asus_880g-_-13-131-646-_-Product

Processor : http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103727&cm_re=965_phenom-_-19-103-727-_-Product

I'm really interested in buying this RAM kit: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231277 . Though I don't think it's compatible with my processor since it's a 1600. But my friend told me I could downclock it to a 1333 and lower the timings too, then it would be compatible ? Is this true ? I'm just making sure

Why? Because its pretty ?

Seriously, the motherboard should automatically run it at 1333. Faster memory can be run slower - the reverse is often not true. And its good memory.

Well, because it's cheaper than all the other 1333s and 1600s haha xD alright, so I'll order it asap ^^ Thanks 😀
