CPU and RAM compatibility

[User24]

Hey everyone, I recently just purchased an Intel Core i5 4690k and 16gb of ddr3 ram at 2400mhz. I hadn't recognized that the CPU says it supports DDR3-1333/1600. My motherboard supports up to way more than just 2400mhz but will my CPU be stable with that ram? Can it handle it without having to overclock? Thanks.

You should be fine, if you have problems though, I believe you can "underclock" the RAM in the BIOS.

You may need a slight CPU OC to run the sticks at 2400, they will prob initially boot to 1333
