Max memory speed Skylake can support?

[MrN1ce9uy]

I'm reading the ark.intel.com specs for Skylake i3, i5, and i7 and it says memory supported is DDR4 1866/2133. Is this the limit it will allow?

128gb is the max tht i can recall reading somewhere...4x32gb ddr4 modules...however the efficiency of such arrangement is questionable unless u have a super duper rig with...u knw...dual skylake processors with 4 way sli/crossfire, etc...
thrs no way any existing gud build can utilize more than 32gb or 16gb for tht matter...

the 2133 is the limit intel puts out. at 1.25v you can get faster ram the memory controler can go up to 1.35v for ram voltage. the issue is if you go up to 3000 speed ram or faster and the cpu fails if you dont have the extra over clockers insurance intel can or might if they think the cpu was overclocked reject the rma. the skylake cpu is the first cpu with ddr4 and ddr3 ram controller. as newer kurby lake and the newer chipset come out that default speed should go up.

The specs issued are simply the 'rated' specs. WHAT DRAM you can run is based in part on the mobo and what it can support, but primarily on your individual CPU (in particular the MC (memory controller) in your CPU. If you were to take a half dozen 6700K CPUs you might have one or two that can run 3400 DRAM with the CPU at stock, others might be able to run 3400 with an OC on the CPU and you might even have 1 or 2 that just can't run 3400 at all.

Most all 6600K and 6700Ks I've worked with can handle at least 2666 at stock and have yet to find one that can't run at least 3400. Most with a CPU OC have been able to run 3600 (fastest I have), and I've seen them run up to 4666
