Hello One thing that bothers me and i dont get about Ram speed,OC and stuff, is RAM with 3200 speed put it into mobo we all know it will downgrade to 2400 right?? it makes no sense or am i missing something,or does 3200 means you can safely OC it to 3200.. can someone explain it to me? and thanks 4 the answer.

It will run at 2133mhz unless you enable xmp or manually tune.

Yes manually change it, no big deal.  All RAM downclocks without proper adjustment.

if you use memory rated for a frequency your CPU and mobo support that doesnt count as overclocking, it will reach that frequency immediately. If it counts as overclocking, it will run 2133MHz by default as overclock can crash systems and the BIOS's default behaviour prefers stability than performance

so i should have bought 3200 RAM instead so it can run 3200 immediately.

More like 2933 or 3000MHz kits because they are much cheaper without much performance drop from 3000MHz

You cant OC 2400Mhz RAM to 3200Mhz.  Maybe 2666Mhz but not 3200Mhz.  The point is you buy a 3200Mhz Kit and you just go to BIOS and manually set it to 3200 since most mobos downclock the RAM.  It is just how it is.
