MSI MS-870AFUZION Motherboard at 2000MHz?

Hi guys.

I’m looking at upgrading my mobo to a MSI MS-870AFUZION.

Its specs state that it can handle 1600MHz ram, but I saw a review where they tested the board using Corsair Dominator 2000MHz ram. I couldn’t make out if the motherboard runs the ram at 1600 or 2000?

I’m looking at buying Kingston Hyper-X KHX2000C9D3T1K3/6GX. It’s a 3x2GB kit.

Do you guys think I will be able to run the ram at 2000MHz on this mobo without any overclocking?

Hi,

From what I have read the 1600 speed is possible on this board as an over clock, so if you are going to run it at the 2000 speed you are definitely going to be over clocking the ram, unless the ram will run at a slower speed without stability issues.
