4266ram

[Flowroro]

If I have 4266 MHz ram and my mobo only supports up to 4000, if I downclock my 4266ram to 4000 MHz with 4000mhz certifies timings, would it basically be the same as a 4000mhz kit? Or does it not work that way?

you can run almost any ddr4 kit at any speed (with a limit) however stability is certified for base clocks like 2133 and 2400 

to put it simply, your mileage may vary, ive run 2400 mhz ram at 3200 so downclocking seems more plausible.

edit: ive also seen 4266 ram ran at 3200 due to lack of mobo support

I saw on the Asus mobo ram spec sheet and the certified latencies for each kit model number would my ram run at those latencies at that speed? Even though model number might not be the same?

Depends on the CPU mem controller. The motherboard should let you do all kind of nonsense asuming its not a bottom tier.

 

That high clock must be coupled with high voltage, so keep that in mind, you dont want to bust your mem controller.
