MSI Z87 G45 gaming, ram question

[Shoxie9]

what ram will this motherboard be able to use? my friend told me to check what mhz it was able to handle and i have no idea, and i wonder if its gonna be able to handle the "HyperX Savage DDR3 2400MHz 4x4GB" or "Corsair Vengeance Pro Red (4x4GB) / 2133MHz / DDR3 / CL9"

your friend is an idiot, ignore the clockspeeds. it says in the specs of the motherboard that it supports ddr3 so you'll need ddr3 ram, it's that simple.

what about voltage? i got a intel i5 4670k

that's not important, the only thing to think about when buying ram is enough slots, the right ddr and looks(if you care about that).

not the simple
but it easy
1)google the mobo
2)look at the spec
https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/Z87-G45-GAMING.html#hero-specification
DDR3 1066/1333/1600/1866*/2000*/2133*/2200*/2400*/2600*/2666*/2800*/3000*(*OC) MHz

So The rams i mentioned Will work?

Listen to this guy. He put it very bluntly, and it may not sound like the answer you wanted to hear, but he's correct.

Unless your job requires running Maya 3D or ingesting a large quantity of uncompressed 4k 60fps video or other similar industrial tasks, RAM speed makes little to no difference. In gaming, you're likely to see a 0fps increase between DDR3 1600mhz and 2400mhz (I've tried). Quantity of RAM is far more crucial than speed of RAM, especially for Intel CPU's from the last 8-10 years.

If you have enough RAM, it's priced right, and looks good, speed (within the same generation) matters nil for gaming.

it is that simple, ddr3 accurate enough information about the clockspeed to check motherboard compatibility. you don't need the excact mhz.

for this mobo yes, but some don't support all depend of the mobo
