Can this motherboard use Ram 1600mhz

ga h61m-s2p

i need help

No. It can only use 800, 1066, or 1333.

The specs page lists official support up to DDR3 2200 (OC). The OC part means you must enable X.M.P. in the BIOS to enable RAM frequencies higher than 1333 MT/s.

no,, your max frequency is 1333mhz ... http://www.pc-specs.com/mobo/GigaByte/Gigabyte_GA-H61M-S2P-B3/1164

It is listed on gigabyte's web site as supporting up to 1333MHz memory. 16GB max.

sorry for the side question, but can i add 1600Mhz ram on H61M-S2P anyway? and it just down-clock to 1333MHz? or it won't work?

Yes, you probably can add 1600MHz memory. It will most likely default at 1300MHz. Look in BIOS and if there is a multiplyer for higher than 1333MHz, you might be able to up the speed to 1600MHz.

no, my motherboard only take till 1333Mhz, and that's enough with me..
another question please if you won't mind..can i mix it with another stick of a different brand? but they are same in everything else, Cas Latency, volt & Capacity..
i have kingston 4GB DDR3 CL9 1.5v, and it's out of stock now..so I'm thinking of buying G.Skill Rijaws 4GB DDR3 CL9 1.5v ... do you think they will work together?

You will be taking a chance by mixing different sticks even if they have the same specs. If you do that and the sticks do not work together you can increase the memory voltage some. And if still no success, increasing the CPU memory controller voltage some might help.

It is best to get a memory kit. That way all the sticks in the kit will have been tested to make sure they work OK together.
