Will this work as its PC3-12800 and the stuff i have is PC3-8500,will it just roll back to 8500 seeing as its higher number?

Yes, it's fine to use faster memory, it will just run at the fastest speed your motherboard is compatible with (8500 in your case).Will this work as its PC3-12800 and the stuff i have is PC3-8500,will it just roll back to 8500 seeing as its higher number?
Many Thanks
These days the faster memory is cheaper as there is little demand for the lower speeds.poppy100 -
