Nein!

 

If you install HyperX RAM it will underclock it since the RAM controller can't handle the speed, in that case the fancy RAM will just be a waste of money.

can u explain me more detail about this 

  1. Support for Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) memory modules

    * To support XMP memory, you must install an Intel 22nm (Ivy Bridge) CPU.

XMP will work for you CPU+motherboard combo, as you have an Ivy Bridge processor (all Intel 3xxx series processors are Ivy Bridge) and according to ark.intel you have a 22nm CPU.

 

XMP basically just reads a chip on your RAM module and adjusts all the nitty-gritty RAM stuff (like voltage, clock speed, timings, etc.) accordingly so that you don't have to do it all yourself. It's good to enable it.

It's not your CPU that's holding you back from 1600MHz RAM, the motherboard does NOT permit use of DDR3 1600MHz memory, the maximum that it will take is 1333MHz. If you really need that speed (depending on what you use the computer for), then invest in a new motherboard.

 

What RAM are you using at the moment anyways?
