Inputs on this conundrum...my PC skills are no where near most of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Even if they won't run at 1866, the sticks will just run at 1600. You can set them to do so yourself, just check and set the frequency in the bios. I've read that this motherboard supports up to 2800 OC'ed though. I don't think you will have a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
