I bought 1866 mhz ram but my motherboard only supports 1600. After I changed it to 1866 in bios CPU-Z is showing it running at 1866mhz. Is it actually running at that frequency or is it being downgraded to 1600 because of motherboard limit? I have a Ga-z77 D3h with a 3570k cpu

Support 1600 mean it can run 1600 only OOTB, but if you OC it runs at faster speeds

By setting it to 1866 you are overclocking your memory controller to make your RAM run at that speed. It works but could potentially cause instability.
