RAM above 1600

Your aunt needs to be kinda ashamed for not knowing that these days motherboards support OC'd RAM usually up to 2800MHz

Actually, she is correct. The processors only support RAM up to 1600MHz, overclocking is a different story. Supporting something is like giving it a 100% guarantee it'll work, overclocking is never guaranteed.

That's true but I believe @Archangel1994 meant that the woman was wrong about the motherboard. As someone posted, it supports many different frequencies, even if they are OC. There's a difference between not supporting at all and OCing...

 

I'm just being a cunt though, ignore my sarcasm.
