RAM/Mobo/CPU compatibility

[Fish]

I'm running an Intel Pentium G3258 and just returned my gaming board that didn't support ECC ram. I pulled the trigger on a SUPERMICRO MBD-X10SLL-F-O this morning but ran into an issue. The RAM type specified by the board is DDR3-1600 but my proc says it supports DDR3-1333.

Is this board going to be able to use DDR3-1333 RAM?

Huh, never noticed the Pentiums were only rated for DDR3-1333.

Just get DDR3-1600 (baseline these days). It'll run at DDR3-1333.

Edit: Haswell is only rated for 1600 from i3 and up. Broadwell Xeon E3 v4 is rated for 1866.

That's what I figured...that it would just run a bit slower. I was getting nervous that I would have to order a 3rd board...

Think I'm going to go with this Mushkin Proline 8GB kit.

I'd recommend something more widely used.

So Crucial?

Anything from the X10 RAM recommendations thread. Specific model numbers are listed there.

That was only meant to identify what is ECC RAM from what is not. It was not an endorsement of a particular model or brand. The only RAM I recommend is what is qualified by the motherboard manufacturer.
