I5 3570K RAM Compatibility

[leo895]

I read on the intel website that the i5 3570K is only compatible with 1333 or 1600 MHz, but for a future computer build I was looking to use the Kingston Hyper X Genesis 16GB which runs at 2100 MHz will it still be read by the i5 or should I save a couple pounds and just downgrade to a lower MHz?
Thank You in Advance

Why do you want to run 2100MHz? The CPU will run it, but since it's 1.65v, it will void your warranty, and damage your CPU. Just get a 16GB 1600 kit.

The memory controller on most newer Intel cpus runs at 1333 or 1600; faster ram may do you no good. 1600 ram is much cheaper; newegg has patriot 8 gb of 1600 for only $29.99 today as a shellshocker special. Two sticks of that will work fine.
