Hey,I want to add 8gb of ram (4gb x2) 1333mhz but can I get a higher frequency ram for my slow ram frequency supported cpu (1333mhz) and underclock it just so It matches the supported frequency?

There'd literally be no point in that, you'd be paying more for RAM you can't even use to it's potential. And plus if you get a higher rated RAM stick (ie. DDR3 vs DDR4), it's more than likely the socket won't match. 

 

I'd really just recommend getting 1333hz memory instead of trying to clock high speed ram lower than it can go.

All RAM will be running at slowest speed. And you can't use RAM that would run higher than what mobo supports. So if you have 1333MHz ram now, its no point get higher frequency. Unless you plan to upgrade all to use that same higher frequency.

 

Please change title to something more descriptive. Like all so dull RAM question.

My current ram has 4gb running at 666mhz, I saw a good offer on the Internet and then I was thinking of buying higher frequency than 1333mhz like 2400 or something and underclock click it just so It matches the supported frequency by the cpu (1333mhz) in that way if I want to upgrade my cpu later with more supported frequency

And besides that I want the speed of dual channel memory, I don't think I can change that tittle

No point in going more than DDR3 1600MHz for gaming unless you use an APU. More MHz has literally no influence on games. Better make sure you buy RAM with a very low CAS latency.

Thanks for the help!
