So, I have 2x4 ddr3 2133mhz ram, but most ryzen and skylake/kaby lake motheboards support only ddr3-1600 or even 1333. Is it possible to use my ram on new system? Here is aida64 memory benchmark:

DDR3 will not work on Ryzen or newer intel unless you get some weird intel board that supports it. Intel does support it sort of :

 

CPU: Intel i7-4790K @ stock for now --- RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16Gb --- MOBO: Asus Maximus VII Formula --- GPU: MSI Gaming GTX 980ti --- PSU: Corsair AX860i  ---  Storage: Samsung 850 250gb(OS), 3x Western Digital Blue 3tb (one for game and programs, two for media), 3tb WD Green(somewhat backup) and a Crucial M550 120gb SSD (caching games and programs drive)  --- Case: Fractal Define R5 --- Cooler: Corsair H100i with Noctua 2000rpm, Industrial Fans --- OS: Windows 10 --- Monitor: Asus PB298q + AOC l2260SWD --- Mouse: Logitech G502 Spectrum --- Keyboard: Corsair K70 (Cherry MX Red) Red LED's --- Audio: Audio Engine A2's (yes the originals), Sennheiser HD 58x Jubilee Audio-Technica ATH-AD900x, Audio-Technica ATH-M50x, Ant Lion Mod Mic V4 --- Laptop: Dell XPS 9750

If it does support ddr3 then yes you can. Typically with ddr3 and ddr4 that speed is an overclock and thus can be tuned down
