Question Can I increase ram speed supported by cpu

[Abel Rivera1]

I have an asus p8h61 m lx r2.0 and an i7 3770 and I just bought 16gb 1866mhz ddr3 ram, am I able to upgrade the ram speed supported by my cpu or do I buy another cpu

No. And even if you could, you'd see no performance gain from 10 or even 20% increase of RAM speed.

From the manufacturer: "2 x DIMM, Max. 16GB, DDR3 2200(O.C.)/2133(O.C.)/2000(O.C.)/1866(O.C.)/1600/1333/1066 MHz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory "

Just put the memory in and find out what speed it runs then get back to us.
