#Find Serial Number On Asrock Motherboard upgrade#

Will the CPU won't work with a 1600 or will it downgrade it to 1333? I want to buy only one memory then upgrade the CPU.Д«ecause I would like to upgrade, I would like to know if its a 'new' or an 'old' board. I had forgotten about CPU memory support.

With that said either way the board will most likely work with the ram you put in regardless of whether it supports it or not, it will just run it at whatever speed it does support. Someone may correct me on this, like I said Im not an intel guy. Just make sure your CPU will support 1600 mhz-Im not much of an intel guy, but if memory serves me right, in that generation of intel CPUs their memory controller is located on the CPU, and if it doesnt support 1600 mhz ram your rams not going to run at 1600 mhz regardless of what the board supports. I want to buy 1600 Ram but I don't want to screw it up and end up having an old model and wasting those bucks bc it would not work on an old board.ДЄlso I was looking for a pic of the 'old' board model but couldn't find one.Д¬hances are that if it is the older model that only supports 1333 mhz ram and you buy 1600 mhz ram, that it will just downclock it to 1333 mhz, but it would still run just fine. What I don't know is if the cosmetics from the 'old' boards and the 'new' boards are the same. I saw that page, and that's the one I have.
