Resolved Does it mean that the CPU cannot support DDR3 1600/1066?

It says the memory type is DDR3 1333. Does it mean that the CPU cannot support DDR3 1600/1066?

 

If so, why doesn't it say 'DDR3 1333 (maximum)'?
If I put a DDR3 1600 RAM onto my motherboard, it will still be compatible with my G3240 CPU, but the transfer rate will remain 1333 MHz. Is it correct?

 

Is this your Motherboard Asus H81M-A

 

Yes, definitely.

 

You could try using this scanner Crucial. I'm not sure if it will function properly on a self assembled computer.

After reading the above, I think a DDR3 1600 RAM can work with my G3240 CPU, just the transfer rate is uncertain. Please tell me whether I have understood correctly. My English is not good.

 

A higher clock rate RAM would work with the CPU which can only support a lower clock rate, but why pay more when its not going to be used fully ?

 

Since your motherboard supports the faster RAM, the RAM will function, but it will toggle down in speed to match the CPU. So unless you are getting a really good deal on the 1600, as rsinfo implies, buy the cheaper RAM.

Why does it make no mention of which generation the CPU is of?

 

The specs on Newegg mentions no generation either.
May I think that all LGA 1150 CPUs are of the fourth generation?

 

Two or 3 people have told you that the RAM will work but run at a slower speed. You keep pushing the subject asking other questions. Best thing to do is contact the people you have questions about their stuff and ask them.
Not trying to be smart with you, but just saying.

 

The motherboard MAY be capable of 1600Mhz. But the processor cannot exceed it's 1333Mhz limit. You should try to see if the motherboard has the capability of handling a CPU upgrade that supports 1600Mhz transfer rate. But don't buy anything until you make sure the board can handle the upgrade.

The Ram will run at DDR3-1600 you just need to run it at it's XMP settings when they say DDR3-1333 that is it's maximum Jedec spec'd speed XMP has profiles for faster speeds like 1600, 1866, 2000, etc etc

Like my current CPU which in AMD FX 8320 it's top supported (JEDEC speed) is 1866MHz and yet I'm quiet happily running DDR3-2400MHz ram via the XMP profile for it

 

My motherboard supports unbuffered memories. Does it mean that registered memories cannot work with it?

 

Just exactly what are you trying to do or accomplish? Maybe we could offer more to help you.

 

Registered and ECC memory are only helpful in server type situations where data integrity is more important than overall speed

your running a desktop PC for the usual home user type stuff so registered ECC memory is not a necessity

buffered vs unbuffered is a different beast altogether

here's a little about both types

registered memory
A memory module that contains registers that hold the data for one clock cycle before it is moved on to the motherboard. This process increases the reliability of high-speed data access. Registered memory modules are typically used only in servers and other mission-critical systems where it is extremely important that the data is properly handled.

buffered memory
Buffered memory contains a buffer to assist the chipset deal with the large electrical load required when the system has a lot of memory. Much like registered modules, buffered modules are typically used in servers and other mission-critical systems where it is extremely important that the data is properly handled.
