I am bad at title making, but I digress.

So I bought parts for a whole new Rig last december and I never noticed it till now but My RAM and Mobo RAM requirements dont seem to match:

Mobo:

RAM:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231277

Mobo says it supports DDR3 1866(OC)/1333/1066, but the RAM is DDR3 1600.

Does this matter at all? I want to get 4 more gigs of the same one but I dont want to mistake getting the wrong one, if that makes any sense?

Thanks in advance guys!
 
The RAM is works as it is DDR3 and your board supports DDR3. I'm guessing it is running at 1333 instead of 1600 though.
 
1600mhz memory will work in that board, you just have to go into the bios and manually set the speed.
