i7 4790k + asus z97 pro gamer + 2x8 gb ram ddr3 1866mhz kingston hyperx fury blue max bus?

[xXAXONXx]

hi, i want to know wich is the max ddr3 bus mhz speed that my cpu and ram and mobo supports?, i tried 2133mhz ddr3 with that build and i was gaming and i think everything was ok?, i enter the bios and i can set the ddr3 bus speed and i need to know the max i can set without having any kind of issue/performance/stability what ever, cause i want to play heavy games

You should be able to set any XMP speed supported by the RAM.

Check thaiphoon burner for ram ic type if you cant just take off the heatsink

 

 

if its hynix then youve got some pretty good sticks that should do 3000+

 

If its anything else itll still be half decent so you can expect upper 2000s in freq aside from elpida and psc 4gbits those ics are trash but unlikely on your ram bin

 

You can send a thaiphoon burner screenshot to help verify ic

That varies per ram ic but are you running 8gb or 16gb ram? If you run 16gb then you are running dual rank instead of single rank, they likely wont go above 2666 cause imc (brute forcing volt my work, max safe 1.45v vccsa/io and vcore) but dual rank has ~30% more bandwidth vs single rank so itll crush 3000+ single rank

but remember my ram is 2x8 ddr3 1866 fury hyper x kingston blue, will i have some kind of issue?, cause i can set it to 2800mhz more or less

i dont get your message, i have 2 slots of 8 gb ram, so dual chanel 16

If you can set it higher than its rating and it actually runs, thats on you to test it for stability. 
We cant tell you where that is. Its gonna need voltage and timing to do anything, not gonna see much perfomance overall given the cpu.

No idea. Like I said, you need to see if its gonna post. If it does, you check stability. If its works then you clearly dont have any issues.

Do a memtest and some benchmarking. If it doesnt crash or error out its good.

 

Also for gaming there is basically not a single difference between you 1866mhz and 2800mhz ram as your cpu just doesnt take advantage of it

ok i didnt used memtest but i was playing terminator resistance i put ram to 2133mhz and everything is good, well terminator gave me 3 times an issue with a window error idk what causes this but i was playing well, i think 2133mhz is enought
