I would like to ask a question related to the Intel i7-5960x.
In the case of i7-5960x, the RAM clock is 2133MHz, but I am currently trying to use DDR4 3200MHz.
Is it compatible with 2133MHz and 3200MHz?

In other communities, some people say it is possible, or it says that you have to use it according to the clock that comes out of the CPU.

Please let me know which one is correct!

It is not validated for 3200mhz:

But, what are the memory specs for your motherboard?  That is where you should be looking.

The motherboard manual says that 2800MHz is the maximum.
