iMac Mid 2010 i3 can carry on 32GB Ram in 1600Mhz?

Hay,

1. i see older post in this community that people can get their imac from mid 2010 models up to 32gb of ram from the OWC vebdour but thay didnt write down the Frequency. (by the way thay seeling any special kit? i can go to buy regular DIMM's and put them regulary? )

2. i wonder if the i3 CPU Can Carry 1600Mhz of ram speed because i saw in intel website that the cache speed memory is 1333Mhz.

what you think that happend if i put 1600Mhz memory and he wouldent support thie frequency?

he just show me 1333Mhz and work good?

Thanks A Lot.

Just a heads up, 2010 iMacs with the i3 processor cannot accept 8GB sticks, but the i5 and i7 can. 4GB sticks is the max it can accept.

Thanks!!! Was wondering why ALL of the other iMacs I upgraded with the same RAM were working fine with 2 x 8gig chips. Swapped to 4 x 2gig RAM from other iMacs and running smooth.
