Will this affect my CPU?

I have a Kingsto 4GB RAM single channel 1600mhz,but my CPU Intel Pentium G850 2.90ghz supports only 1333 mhz.How will this affect my CPU?

it won't affect it at all. the faster ram will just run slower to the speed the motherboard allows.

Hello... You can run a higher rated/speed memory at a lower setting... or you can also overclock the memory and CPU with it.

Someone told me that this will shorten the life of my CPU

Ok man thank you very much.

First of all, you are likely running at 1333.
Run cpu-Z and look at the ram speeds being utilized.
All ram will have a slower 1333 default speed so you can get into the bios and up the speed.

I can see no reason at all why ram speed will have any impact on the longevity of your cpu.
