Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
I want it to run as fast as possible without overclocking.
I mistakenly ordered an Intel i7-7770K CPU as I easily get distracted.
The CPU is being returned, for a Fee, and the correct CPU has been ordered.
I do not want to mess up ordering the wrong Memory.

What is the fastest Memory that my PC can use without overclocking.

Hi @BroMama
the memory speed cannot be higher than the frequency supported by the processor, processors of this model support DDR3-1600 memory.
