i7 6700k 2133 Mhz Limit

[clarky476]

I have a i7 6700 and gtx 1070ti but my ram and especially motherboard is fairly outdated and was thinking of getting 16gb of 3200mhz but it says my processor can only support 2133 Mhz, can i go above this? or is it very strictly only 2133 limit

Do you have a decent Z board?

No its an ASRock B150, but I will get a new motherboard with the ram that supports 3200mhz

You would need a Z170 or Z270 board , paired with your 6700k to run the faster ram.

These are the parts I am most likely going to get

So if I get these I will be able to run the ram at 3200mhz or will the processor limit it?

I could only get my 3200 to 3000. But most can run it no issues.
