Lame question about latency+ compatibility

[PLAfiller]

Hello guys ,

I have two simple questions. It might be lame, but I am not sure what decision to make.

I have a small mini ITX project in mind.

The MB I have my eyes on is Gigabyte Phoenix . This MB supports only DDR4 - 2133 mhz. I am ok with that.

Question 1 : If I put DDR4 2400 MHz, will it "clock down" to 2133mhz ? Will it work 100% ?

Question 2 : I want only 1 x 8GB stick ( budget reasons ). However, the difference between Corsair DDR4 2133 MHz CL15 Value ram and Kingston Savage DDR4 2133 MHz CL13 is double. I mean is it really that important CL15 vs CL13? Lower latency makes the price double ?

Intended CPU is Pentium G4500 ( Skylake) .

Thank you in advance.

It'll work 100%, but downclocked and latency is not important unless you're benchmarking or have some kind of OCD.

Where do you see that? When I follow the link you provided, I see (my bold added),

1. 2 x 1.5V DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 16 GB of system memory

3. Support for DDR3 1600/1333 MHz memory modules​

OK, I checked the video. According to the chart it is like 1 second delay between 2133 on CL15 and 2133 on CL13. Seem like the choice will be between the value propositions of Crucial and Kingston value ram. That Savage looks sick though , just saying. So, I won't spend cash on the more expensive ram then.

@Bill_Bright My bad, I linked the 1150 socket. I meant the 1151 socket. Link fixed.

Isn't that the guy who spreads misinformation all over the place including how to double your core count for free or some junk?

The latency isn't going to be by seconds, that's some bs right there.

Okay, great. Thanks.

But note if you follow the link to the Memory QVL, that board also supports 2400MHz DDR4 RAM (though it will downgrade it to 2133MHz). That will give you more options to choose from, perhaps for better future proofing. But more importantly, the 2400MHz DDR4 seems to be your only tested path to 16GB installed.

It is. He intentionally spreads misinformation as blatantly as possible.
