I like the GSkill—F5-6800J3446F48GX2-RS5K Ripjaws S5 DDR5-6800 CL34-46-46-108 1.35V 96GB (2x48GB) Intel XM. The RAM speed is rated at 6800. Throughout my studies, the processor can only handle up to 5600. For the sake of dollars and cents, what does going over in speed do if the processor is going to CAP the speed of the memory? Technically, I am not into RAM overclocking, etc.
I am building an ITX workstation. I am not into playing video games; I use my computer for CAD/3D/BIM/Rendering. So, for the sake of it all, I am chasing more stability than overclocking.
Is there a benefit to installing faster RAM into a motherboard that does not support it? If I opt for the same RAM kit at a speed of 5600, I can save $105.00. I'm trying to determine if getting the fastest RAM sure, but if the CPU knocks the cap of the 6800 RAM off at 5600, is this pointless? Now If faster RAM is better for simplicity's sake, I will invest in the best memory I can afford. However, I believe there may be a point of diminishing returns at some stage.
Thank you
