I am getting ready to purchase a new 6th gen Intel SkyLake NUC. From what I can tell you must purchase DDR4 memory to use in these NUCs as the memory slots are 260-pin DIMM slots.
I know that Intel says the NUC supports 2133MHz DDR4 but if I want to maximize my price-to-performance ratio on the money I spend, I wonder if the NUC will support and operate properly with faster memory speeds. Could I purchase and install DDR4-2800MHz memory chips and how would the performance scale. Would the extra money spent be worth the improved performance? If anybody can post links to reviewers who have already performed these sorts of tests please post them. If you have purchased one of these new 6th gen NUCs yourself and have firsthand knowledge and benchmarks that would be great also.
To summarize my question, can you run DDR4-memory chips in these new NUCs faster than the suggested cap of 2133MHz by Intel? Thanks for reading.
