I wanted to ask the experts what they'd recommend for RAM for a general gaming and home desktop. My to-be rig will have an Intel i7-3930k processor and an Asus P9X79 WS motherboard. I have G.Skill RipJawsZ 16GB (4gb x 4) DDR3-2133, PC3-17000, CL9-11-10-28, 1.65v, Model # F3-17000CL9Q-16GBZH, but haven't gotten all the components to try everything together, yet.
Does the DDR3 2133 RAM run as DDR3 1600, unless you tune it to 2133 (tested speed?)? I'm not interested in overclocking the rig, especially right away, and want to be sure the RAM should be plug and go with the CPU and Mobo. Will this be the case, or do I need to consider other RAM?
For future reference, what is the best RAM this setup could hold?
Thank you for your time and knowledge! This is an upgrade to my current rig in my sig
