A few questions

Ive asked about this a few times but never really got a straight answer...

a CPU that has a memory support of 2400MHz.
ram that is 3000MHz.

can an overclocked CPU gain support for a higher MHz then the advertised memory support?

idk anything about a CPU's memory support or if it can change.

question 2:
has anyone got 2 titan XPs, both clocked at 2GHz stable, watercooled?
i would not mined see the benchmarks on that!, mostly frames per second benchmarks though, 1080p and 4K, i have only seen 2 air cooled but no water cooled, kinda sucks

ok well how about a 6950x, base clock 3.0GHz, OC to 4.5 or 4.7GHz, should that make the required difference?

yeah 1080 would be pointless, if that is the only reason someone has to get a titan XP, but 4K can be for both gaming and workstation, my...dream build i guess you can say, would be a hybrid gaming/workstation, top gaming with as much power as possible for work loads, editors, rendering, etc, its always nice to know where things stand for both, single player/work on 4K monitor, gaming online on 1080p monitor.

well from what i understand, games don't use more then 2 cores, and i know that the 5960x could reach 4.5 and 4.7GHz, plus this would be a liquid cooled CPU, using its own personal open loop, quad 140mm thick rad, push-pull, to keep it cool, noise is not a major issue with me, im use to hearing fans ramp up and down, plus i know that the 6950x can hit 5GHz under liquid nitrogen, plus that is not what i want, its just 4.5 or 4.7 if possible, plus i wont build it myself so i will be getting a binned CPU, but this is only a hypocritical build, i most likely wont be able to get a rig like that until after volta comes out, and im sure there will be better hardware by then, but!, the main issue i had was relating to the current issue that i came across, and that's using 3000MHz ram and a CPU that only supports 2400MHz, so the question is, can a base clock 3.0, that's overclocked to 4.5 to 4.7GHz gain the full use of that 3000MHz, after all, faster is better, so don't worry about it not being possible for the 6950x, i just would like to know if a CPU's memory support is hard locked or if an overclock can amp up the max memory speed that is listed as "supported memory"

by choice ram currently stands at 15-15-15-34, 128gb, @ 3000MHz, sooo, no worries there, and i was talking about the 5960x not the 6950x, the 59 was able to get 4.5 and even 4.7GHz, why can't the 6950 get at least 4.5GHz, am i right.

yeah but remember, this is a hybrid, mostly gaming(Game/Work, 70/30)
