Need help regarding ddr3 Memory overclock.

[Xeon e3-1246v3]

Hello everyone,

I'm about to buy gskill 2400mhz 16gb ddr3 memory.

I own an Intel DH87RL motherboard.

Plz tell me will I be able to run the memory at full speed.

If yes , then how do I do that?

If no , then what's the Max. speed I can get, nd how to achieve that.

I tried finding XMP profile in the bios but here isn't an option for that.

Plzz help me.

Thanks in advance.

The motherboard only supports up to DDR3-1600.

Because it is not a Z-series board, you might not be able to run it at full DDR3-2400 speed.

 

Plus, it will also depend on the CPU you are using, too.

Both CPU and motherboard needs to be able to run at those higher frequencies.

It will depend if:

1. Your motherboard has support for manual overclocking, or options in the BIOS to run the RAM at higher frequencies
2. If your CPU (you haven't mentioned yet) can support overclocking, or higher RAM frequency

If you run the RAM higher then what the CPU is rated for, you ARE overclocking the Integrated Memory Controller (IMC) within the CPU.
