I need advice to use DDR3 2000mhz RAM on gigabyte GA-785GMT-USB3
Motherboard guide says 1866+ OC Ram and not 2000+ OC
Will it be compatible?
Is someone already using this configuration?
As I need all the members advice before buying this RAM

yes. it doesn't support 2000MHz DDR3 but if you use 2000MHz module, it will be downclocked to 1666 or 1866. you better stick to 1666MHz modules for now.

I don't think 1866MHz RAM sells in market.
