Noob question incoming

[wasteomind]

Hey guys, kinda a noob question, I'm interested in the new EVGA x58 motherboard.

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicat...?EdpNo=4303020&csid=ITD&body=MAIN#detailspecs

Specs there say it only supports up to DDR3 1333.

Can I use DDR3 1600 on it though? Even if down clocks the mem to 1333 it should be compatible right?

Yes. Make sure it falls with in the voltage ratings though.
