Pentium + z270 + 3200mhz memory = Disaster?

[Lelouch312]

Can i run 3200mhz memory if i have a Pentium g4560 and a z270 motherboard?

WHY a bottom cpu with a highend mobo and ram?

If mobo support that ram then will be fine

why a Z270 motherboard with a non overclockable CPU?

What if in the future he wants to get a new cpu like a 7600k or 7700k and oc it?

.. remember the low end gpu video, saving for a few weeks will give him something better.

why doesn't he just save up a little and get a mid range i5 or something or wait for Ryzen

[Droidbot]

I'd rather save up for a locked i7 6700 and a cheap H series board or smth

I've got a Pentium g4400 in a machine with a z170 board, 16gbs of ddr4 2600mhz ram with a 4gb 960. My gf uses it for gaming and never have any issues

A little? It costs almost 2-3 times for an i5

yes but if you save up for a bit for the i5 the system will be quite a lot better

That is a slippery slope, you could then say, "a little more for the I7".

 

Oh but.. a little more for the 1080.

 

Oh shit, just a little more and you could get a 4k monitor

 

so on and so forth, if the guy wants a Pentium and that's what he can afford to get him going for now. so be it.

my point was a Z270 mobo is a bit of a waste for now with the pentium

Yes it could be, unless the Pentium is literally just a place holder to get him going now, I could totally understand that. I got my gf the Z170+pentium to hold her over for now, light gaming is great, even some heavier stuff like gta5 runs 30 fps. I wasn't able to get her something like an I5 for awhile so the $60 expense was worth it. I do plan to get a k series I5 for her eventually but for now, she is up and running.

 

[Lelouch312]

Jesus, what did i just unleashed? lmao. Well the pentium is just a place holder, i'll sell it later and i'll get an i7. for gaming the pentium it's almost equal to my fx 8350 and i want that sweet asus strix mobo, i could also wait for zen but i just wanted to know if i can use 3200mhz memory in this configuration, thank you all, regardless.
