RAM question

[kpc01]

If my desktop has 10600Mhz ram can I put 16000Mhz in it? I know it will run at the lowest level in there but just want to make sure it will run.

whats in there is ddr3-10600 240pin

thanks for any advice

What mobo do you have?

[kpc01]

not sure. its a HP 6717 desktop. I know its expandable up to 16g with 4 slots but whats in it now is all 2g of 10600. is there a place that I can find the mobo info?

Just go to crucial.com and run their memory scanner to see what it supports.

I went that route and it couldn't tell me. It recognized how much I had but couldn't recommend one.

I found DDR3-16000 240pin which will fit and is the same except for higher MHZ. I know a long time ago when I messed with cpu stuff you could run a higher one but it would run at the lowest installed RAM. nowdays I am out of the loop. I guess I could do chat on crucial?

it'll downclock

That presupposes that his mobo will support 16000 ram though.
