If a motherboard support the RAM speeds 3000/3200/3600, Could you use RAM with 3300 speed and the motherboard would adjust it or just accept it, or would it reject it?

    If your motherboards supports RAM at those discrete speeds, I would expect that if you installed 3300 speed RAM, it would run at 3200. – BillDOe Sep 27 '15 at 16:54

    Correct, it clocks back to the nearest lower speed automatically unless your bios can do manual overclocking of memory which is not recommended. – Moab Sep 27 '15 at 16:58
  • I liked this question for being simple and straightforward, but this has been asked in the [recent](http://superuser.com/q/917497/109256), [older](http://superuser.com/q/775864/109256) and [oldest](http://superuser.com/q/263077/109256) posts I have found. Not sure how to deal with this kind of similarly repeated questions. –  Nov 27 '15 at 13:51
