Intel G3258 - Help

[jjwilson4]

I was just wondering I was gonna get 1600mhz ram, but the CPU only supports 1333mhz ram so will it go down automatically by its self?  The build is a budget ish build, but I'm using the Intel as a filler before I upgrade to the i5.  I was just wondering does anyone know the best atx motherboard for the intel pentium g3258 costing between £50-£80.

it will default to the board

Yes it would.

Pretty much anything from a trusted brand like, Asus, MSI and Gigabyte that fits the CPU is enough for the Motherboard.

I recommend the MSI H81M-P33 motherboard. It's the one i have, and it's dirt cheap.

It will clock down to the spec of the board automatically. One of the nice perks of living in the information age. There's not a whole lot of benefit to gaming from higher-clocked memory unless you have an APU, but it's a nice thing to have, I guess. You can get crazy latencies on 1333, mind you.

I run 1333mhz ram with a G3258 and it's fine. As far as motherboards go, get the cheapest one you can that supports overclocking after a UEFI update.

just get an asrock, they're pretty much the gold standard
