CPU and Ram timing

[bazang]

The CPU i am looking at is the AMD FX 8350 with the Wraith Cooler and the Mobo is MSI 970A-G43 AM3+, which supports both 1866 and 1333 timings. The CPU only supports RAM at 1866. As i have 8GBs of 1333 RAM I want to use this RAM from my current system, will the CPU still accept this and run normally or do i have to buy more RAM at 1866?

Thanks.

Timing for cpu is UP TO 1866 mhz. So it can accept 1866 mhz and all below. You will not have issue. Just if this are old RAM stick make sure it is same DDR category.
