can i run 1600mhz ram to 1333mhz max supported mobo?

Hi, is there any possibilities that it will work? thanks

Yes, most system has backward compatibility to down-clock the memory to operate at the speed supported. But I would recommend to go with 1333MHz memory instead of getting a 1600MHz in this instance.

What mobo?

The problem is my mobo wont recognize 1600mhz ram. Is there any possibilities that it will accept it even in 1333mhz?

Ram can be set at any speed thats in the rams jadec table. So install the ram, go into bios and check to see what the setting is. It should automatically set at 1333MHz (unless the ram is Kingston HyperX, then you are out of luck), if not, then you can manually set it to 1333MHz as the target speed.

That's an old G41 Core2 board. It's not likely to be compatible with most newer DDR3.

Crucial has some DDR3L kits that are compatible.
