Can Intels' Haswell series support 2133 ram?

[yorrickk]

Been doing some research, since i'm planning to get a I5 4670k, with a gigabyte z87 ud4h and a G.Skill Ares DDR3 2133 8GB (4x2), on the intel site it says i5 can only go up to 1600 as a max, unless you have xmp/amp support on your Mobo. The problem now is apparently Haswell don't support xmp as far as memory control goes, so i was wondering if i should even bother with 2133, and if i do have to have a 1600 then is there a possibility to increase the Mhz? apparently 1600 will not overclock to anything.

Yes, it supports 2133mhz ram 😛

Also, 1600mhz ram is more than enough, will hardly notice a difference with the 2133mhz.

My Haswell (I7 4770k) is running G.Skill 1866 MHZ memory, Haswell is only limited by what your motherboard limits are. XMP is a simple setup in your bias that will take care of setting your RAM speed for you.
