I have read that this board will only run ram at 1333mhz. Is this true?

According to the official site this board does support 1600 mhz http://us.msi.com/product/mb/B85MP33.html#hero-overview

running a locked cpu I believe that is correct. That is the situation I am in. If I put an unlocked pentium g3258 I think the ram would run at 1600 no problem. I also had to flash the board with an old haswell chip to support newer haswell refresh chips.

You're referring to another, faster, speed of RAM. If you want to add this to an existing stick of 1333MHz RAM, it will work, but, the total speed will default to that of the slower 1066MHz RAM. In total, though, adding RAM sppeds things up. If you're replacing 1333MHz RAM with a couple of sticks of this, as long as it's with more RAM (preferably two sticks: one for reading data, and one for writing,) it will be faster than one stick of 1333MHz also. One larger stick of 1066MHz will not be much, if at all, faster.

Kingston RAM is backwards compatible speed-wise. Since it is a DDR3 build on your motherboard and this is DDR3, it will work. It won't give you the full 1600MHz speeds unless your motherboard supports it natively, but you will at least get 1333MHz.

I don't think you understand what you're being told. It will run DDR3-1333 (the lowest DDR3 frequency memory it will accept) all the way up to DDR3-3000 (the highest frequency memory it will accept). Go to their website and download the manual, it lists every type of DDR3 the board can use, as well as timings, latency and a QVL (Qualified Vendor List) i.e., specific memory by a specific vendor that they have tested and certified to work with this board.

The front side bus on the proc is 667 mhz if you use a 800 mhz stick it will just underclock to 667mhz

If you're not messing around with clock speeds, you only need to make sure that your mainboard supports your CPU, and that your mainboard supports your memory as well. Your mainboard manufacturer should have a list of supported memory modules. You don't mention which it is, though. As long as you have the correct type of memory (DDR3 in this case) and form factor, most modules will operate fine - but you don't want to pay for features on a memory module that will just be switched off by the board, so that's why you should pick a memory your board manufacturer lists as compatible.

Yes, the CPU can support DDR 1333mhz ram. However, your motherboard may not support that speed RAM. Check on the Vendor's site and find the CPU and Memory support list to make sure.

Yes it does support 1333 up to 3000. All you need to make sure is if the ram brand you have or will be purchasing is comoatible to this board.

Is that ddr3? If so, then read the details carefully and it says yes it can support ddr3 2400mhz. Try reading carefully before asking a question that is answered in the description of this product :)

from what I understand, mid-2010 mbp's do NOT support 1333mhz ram. you can do up to 16gb ram with 1066mhz types though.

Yes, but go with faster RAM 1600mhz or faster. This one is 1333mhz and your board supports faster memory. Example: http://www.amazon.com/G-SKILL-Ripjaws-240-Pin-Desktop-F3-2133C9D-8GXL/dp/B00FP1VRYC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1409171013&sr=8-2&keywords=2133+ripjaw

Yes. It will work by default. However; it may run at a lower speed than advertised unless your motherboard's Bios is configured to Overclock to the matching 2133 speed properly, as the ram and motherboard are designed to do. As long as you dont mess with the voltages in the over clock it is perfectly safe to have it run at this speed. If don't want to overclock and don't mind a blue colored RAM set instead of red, consider this one for a slightly cheaper deal that does not require Overclocking.

Where did you hear that? All you will need to do is set the RAM profile to XMP in the BIOS immediately upon first boot, and you should be fine. The motherboard supports 2400 when properly OC'd, which is what XMP will do. Go for it!

DDR2 - 400 and 533 MHzDual channel supportUp to 2 GBTwo DDR slotsI would not try 800MHZ sticks, the above is what I used and is required by Intel @ http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/d945plnm/sb/CS-022505.htm

Yes, according to the specs, that board will run 1333 to 3100 Mhz DDR3. These should work great...

Use OC profile 1 at your bios... it will automatically configure to use 2400 MHz Ram speed..

Yes, the RAM will work with the motherboard. However, the main concern is whether or not the processor can handle the 2133 Mhz speed.
