Hi Guys,
I am building a rig for myself where i have selected Intel core i7 4930k hexa core
And a mobo ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition

Ram i was about to select G.Skill Ripjaws 2400mhz,

But my dealer gave me this link
http://ark.intel.com/products/77780

where he told me that my CPU will support rams types of only DDR3-1333/1600/1866

and not the ones with 2400.

he told me that even if i buy a 2400mhz version it will not run at more than 1866mhz.

Now i want to understand that is what suggested by my dealer, >> true?

or the mobo will allow running of 2400 ripjaws at 2400mhz by using somthing called xmp feature, btw i am a total noob at all this hi tech OC features, but planning on to learning it step by step, but before that i want to finalise this RAM detail that i have to buy....thanks for the help that u will offer in advance...

Nope he is a n0000b and doesnt have a clue.

Memory speed depends on your memory controller in the CPU - they are all different its called the silicone lottery. You will have to set it up manually in the bios but your CPU should do 2133 and 2400 with the 4000 CPU's is do-able also but may need a bit more work in the bios. 2400 is a 100% but is deffo worth trying.
 
thanks for the reply...and that too from The Guvnor....i will try to get the 2400mhz ones then, though its a bit rare around here where i stay and costs a lot.

But i will post when i finish the build maybe by this weekend...my build is stuck up due to unavailability of gfx card i want.
