Need to clear up some confusion

[NomNom]

Will DDR3 1333 ram work with this CPU? I see that under Memory Specifications it says "Memory Types DDR3-1066" I thought the motherboard just needed to be compatible with the ram?

Add: For the motherboard it says the following: "3. Support for DDR3 1333/1066/800 MHz memory modules"

So if I get DDR3 1333 ram and put it in the Pc what will happen? Will it downclock* to 1066 or not work at all?

have you looked up the RAM QVL for your board?

That site calls that cpu "Intel Pentium G530 2.50GHz Dual Core LGA 1155 Processor."

The Intel G530 is a 2.4GHz Celeron.

DDR3 1333Mhz will work.

The ram I want specifically is not listed, however there are loads of similar ram, I am not concerned about the ram being compatible with the motherboard since it is, I want to know if it will be compatible with the CPU.

Seems like that there's an error on NGR's website the processor is actually a Intel Celeron G530 2.40GHz

EDIT: I see someone else also asked the question. so It sounds like it will work.

That RAM should work, seeing that it is 1.5V like the Sandy Bridge CPU's prefer.

I think the CPU will automatically downclock the RAM to 1066MHz.

Yeah this is what I was wondering thanks
