Cpu memory limit
9 hours ago, Phenz said:What about motherboards, can ram be run above the stated speed limit on ram for the specific motherboard without any impact on speed?
That depends on how you define the maximum rated speeds of a motherboard. Boards list both a JEDEC frequency supported and an XMP setting they support. JEDEC speeds should always work, but the XMP settings they list is usually a bit optimistic (I.E. Gigabyte B760M Aorus Elite X AX lists 8266MT/s support, yet getting a CPU that actually is capable of that is almost impossible).
Either way, the only thing that actually can be affected by maximum frequency is stability. It will always scale like you'd expect it to, it's just that those rather high speeds are a bit more iffy whether they'd work or not.
