Hello All,

Hope this finds you well. I have a quick question regarding comatible RAM for the X51 R2. I made a mistake of upgrading to G.Skill Ripjaws a year or so ago and even though I purchased 1600mhz speed sticks, due to the lack of XMP access within the BIOS screen, they run only at 1333mhz.

As I have recently purchased a CPU upgrade - i7 4790k - as well as a GTX 1060, I want to correct this mistake and install 16GB of RAM @ 1600mhz. From researching various forums I understand that HyperX Fury are capable of achieving this. However, my question is whether the 1600mhz sticks will operate at this speed natively within the X51 R2. Or whether I need to purchase the 1866mhz (which will then automatically downclock to 1600mhz)?

Put simply, could anyone tell me whether these sticks would automatically operate at 1600mhz:

Thank you in advance for your time. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

With best wishes,
