[SOLVED] Ram speed for asus b150 pro

[ghostgod621]

On amazon it says it only supports ddr4-2133 but will it be able to support two dd4-2400 mhz sticks without lowering the speed

No unfortunately.

The board supports up to 2133. So if you install anything higher than this, one of 2 things will happen:

• The speed will downclock to the highest speed possible - which is 2133
• The RAM modle will not work at all.

Due to Intel chipset limitation, DDR4 2400MHz memory frequency is only supported by 7th Generation Intel processors. Higher memory modules will run at the maximum transfer rate of DDR4 2400MHz.

Motherboard supports both 6th and 7h Generation Intel CPUs.

This may need to be clarified, we are both referring to 2 different B150 PRO boards, the one which I have linked is 2133 only.

OP, do you know if you have the UK version?

All ram will have a default lower speed that lets you get into the bios and set a higher speed.
That assumes that your motherboard bios has that tuning knob.
B150 is a very basic motherboard so it may not support faster speeds.

Not to worry, though, Unless you are using integrated graphics, you will not notice any performance difference.
Here is a study:

And... when you say two sticks, it is most important that both sticks are from the same matched kit.
Otherwise you may have issues.
