Can high Ram frequency be used on a low-frequency motherboard?

Understanding the logic behind the Ram MHz for the system is a headache for some newbie, but here is today’s article, I will explain the logic behind choosing the best ram with appropriate MHz for your computer system and why to choose a high Ram frequency even if your board supports low ram frequencies.

Which processor will be supporting your computer system depends on two things mainly, first is your processor and second is your motherboard. Sometimes we see that our motherboard has written instruction that this board supports ram up to 2400 MHz or 2600 MHz and also we see that some processors also have instructions about the limitation about the ram speed capacity. Here the question arises- Can a processor or motherboard supported for 2400 MHz rams be used with 3000 MHz rams?

To understand this logic you should, first of all, know that the motherboards are designed to work on their pre-decided ram speed, such that if you plug the ram of 3200 MHz and while your motherboard supports only 2600 MHz rams, will create no problem. Your system will handle the ram of greater ram speed at that specified speed. Your motherboard will consume the maximum ram speed which it can handle easily. If your board supports only 2600 MHz and you have plugged the ram of 3200 MHz then your motherboard by default will use only 2600 MHz of ram speed. You can overclock your motherboard if it supports it.

And in the case of your processor, there will be no problem, it will be working on its default frequency. and hence your motherboard can handle the greater MHz speed Along with your processor, while you can overclock your ram if your motherboard supports it, but it will be of no use since your board will run on a base frequency only. In my case, my motherboard was only able to support the ram frequency only up to 2400 MHz, but I have plugged the ram of 3200 MHz speed and it works perfectly.

So now I think, you have gained some knowledge about the frequency logic in the computer world, if you liked this article get connected with us for more, thanks for reading this article.
