Question Will 2133 MHz RAM run on a GIGABYTE Z390 UD?

[McLovinHawaii]

Want to swap my MSI B150M Bazooka as it doesn't support anything above i7 7700K and prices are ridiculous on those processors. So my plan is to buy a GIGABYTE Z390 UD and a i5 8600K (Any other recommended combo?). The GIGABYTE Z390 UD supports DDR4 4000 MHz down to 2133 MHz. Does that mean that I can simply swap my mobo and run on the same components as I'm doing on my MSI mobo and it'll just work?

As of now I'm running:

i5 6400
Cryorig H7
GTX 1060
HyperX Fury 2x8 GB 2133 MHz
Corsair CX550M 550W
2x SSD (400+500 GB)

Yes, it supports DDR4 2133. But you will need an 8th or 9th-gen CPU as well.

Thanks How much do you think a MSI B150M Bazooka and a i5 6400 is worth if I were to sell it?

 

[MrN1ce9uy]

I would sell them separately online, or together if you find a local buyer. Selling local you can charge less because you don't have to pay the 10% eBay fee or 4% PayPal fee or shipping costs.

eBay:
CPU - $120
Mobo - $50

Thank you. I bought a i5 9600K instead as it was actually cheaper as tray than a i5 8600K

Major hardware changes, such as going from B150 Chipset to Z390 Chipset, normally require a reinstall of the OS.

If you want to try not reinstalling or just doing a repair of the OS, feel free to do so.

i5-9600K Supported memory: DDR4-2666 Faster memory is often used for overclocking. Using slower speed memory, such as 2133MHz, causes significant performances losses.

 

[MrN1ce9uy]

2133MHz memory will work fine and won't cause any issue other than 5-10% lower frame rate compared to 3000-3200MHz memory, and that's only in certain games.

 

[McLovinHawaii]

That's just fine. I'll upgrade the RAM in a few months anyway. It'll be a huge improvement even with 2133 MHz
