will Intel Pentium g3250 on Gigabyte GA-H81M-S1 work with 1600 MHz RAM?

I recently ordered these components for the pc build of my cousin and I checked that the g3250 CPU works with 1333 MHz RAM, but the Kingston Hyperx Fury 8GB 1600Mhz was cheaper than the other RAMs with 1333 Mhz so I ordered it (I also didn't know the cpu worked with 1333 as PC part picker showed no issues with the RAM) my question is, will these components work together without problems? I read somewhere that the RAM will automatically downclock to 1333 MHz, is that true and will there be any problems with that?

The RAM will simply run at 1333, no problem.

is that automatic or do i have to tweak something manually? thanks for the answer

It may depend on the base clock on the motherboard. If it doesn't auto it's no sweat to just go into the BIOS and make a quick change. 2 minutes, tops.

but will the system boot to BIOS if the RAM is not on 1333? thats my main concern.

Directly? No. You will have to go in there yourself.

Hey Superhiperpolulo

Do you recall if your motherboard was able to POST with the DDR3 1600 DIMMS installed? I think that's what you were wondering. Also, did the BIOS end up automatically clocking the memory at 1333mhz or did you have to change anything?

Thanks!
